STEINBACH, Man. – There’s no wind and it feels like the sun’s heat has baked the inside of a food truck where Anna Sigrithur stands over a hot stove pouring crepe batter into a pan.

Ride-sharing service TappCar will soon be expanding to Steinbach after testing the waters this past week to gauge interest in the southeastern Manitoba city.
The Edmonton-based company says it has received an “overwhelming response” for driver applications through its website.
After nearly three months of service in Winnipeg, ride-sharing service TappCar is expanding into Steinbach.
Following a positive reception in Winnipeg, the Alberta-based company says expanding elsewhere in Manitoba was the logical choice.
