Special event transit service

Getting to the game

Ride with us next time you’re attending a Winnipeg Blue Bombers game at Princess Auto Stadium.

Regular service to the stadium

There are several regular service bus routes that operate to the University of Manitoba before a Winnipeg Blue Bombers game or special event:

• 74: Kenaston
• F8: Pembina
• F9: Abinojii Mikanah
• BLUE

Extra regular service to the stadium

There are several regular service bus routes that will have additional service added for games and special events. These routes operate with an X next to the route number. These buses do not appear in online schedules or on Navigo, which means trips on these buses can’t be pre-planned.

All buses marked with an X in the route number will operate to Stadium Station:

• X74: Kenaston Princess Auto Stadium
• XF8: Pembina Princess Auto Stadium
• XF9: Abinojii Mikanah Princess Auto Stadium
• XBLUE Princess Auto Stadium

Park & Ride service

Winnipeg Transit has two Park & Rides located along the Southwest Transitway:

• Seel Station
• Clarence Station

Passengers using a Winnipeg Transit Park & Ride can park their vehicles for free. They are, however, still required to pay their fare when boarding one of our buses. 

Information about Winnipeg Blue Bomber-operated Park & Rides, including the cost and routes, is available on their website.

Fares

Passengers must pay the full regular fare when going to and leaving Winnipeg Blue Bomber games at Princess Auto Stadium.

Fans are encouraged to be prepared with their cash fare or their pre-loaded peggo card. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and patience, as it may take a bit longer to board buses following the game.

Fare information can be found on our Transit fares page.

Active transportation along the Southwest Transitway

Active transportation is a better choice than ever before for football fans heading to Princess Auto Stadium. The Southwest Transitway features an active transportation path that runs into the University of Manitoba campus. Wayfinding signage along the trail directs people to the campus.

A bicycle valet service is available during games at Princess Auto Stadium at the Northeast Gate.

• F9: Lagimodiere to the Kildonan Place Hub
• BLUE to Seel Station or the University of Winnipeg

Extra regular service following the game

On game days, extra buses are added to key routes after events. They do not appear in online schedules and Navigo, so trips on these buses can’t be pre-planned.
