Winnipeg, MB – A plan to extend evening On-Request service is now before City Council for its consideration. If approved, later hours would go into effect on December 14.  

Since we revamped our bus system, we've heard a lot of feedback about the need for more evening service in some areas. In response, Council directed Winnipeg Transit to come up with options to improve evening service.  

A full plan to extend evening service on select fixed routes starting in April is still in the works. But extending schedules for On-Request is less complicated and could be done faster, so we're sharing that aspect of the plan as soon as possible. It will be considered at the Standing Policy Committee on Public Works tomorrow. If approved, it would then go to EPC and Council for consideration.  

Subject to Council approval, here's what changes to On-Request could look like, come December 14:  

  • All zones that currently operate after 7 in the evening would extend service until around 2 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays  
  • On Sundays and holidays, those zones would operate until around 12:45 a.m.  
  • Boundaries for Zone 103 would expand so passengers can take On-Request to Garden City Shopping Centre  

The changes would go into effect on December 14, the first day of Transit’s winter schedule. Hours for daytime-only On-Request zones (104 and 110) would not change.  

More details about the proposed On-Request extension are in this report

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on our new transit system so far.
