Winnipeg, MB - The City of Winnipeg is excited to host the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015â¢! To get you to the games, Winnipeg Transit has several regular routes that will operate to and from Investors Group Field (known as Winnipeg Stadium for the duration of the tournament) and the University of Manitoba before and after matches.
This is a major special event which will result in the City being very busy, specifically on Pembina Highway. It expected that buses serving the Fort Garry and the stadium area will also be busy; therefore all regular Transit riders and FIFA patrons are advised to leave early to ensure a timely arrival at their destination.
FIFA patrons are also encouraged to check bus schedules at winnipegtransit.com before leaving for each match.
