Transit is always looking for feedback on specific issues that riders are having so that they can use it to make future changes. You can email feedback to transit at this link  –

Please know transit is taking all this data and are working on refining the system even more. The challenge with transit is – it can’t ‘turn on a dime’.

Transit organizes the shifts of nearly 1100 bus operators at Winnipeg Transit who drive our buses. This includes;

  • 680 daily ‘pieces’ of work (i.e. buses leaving the garage)
  • Over 5,000 hours of daily service
  • Over 100,000 km of daily service
  • Every day there are approximately 480 buses on the road at peak times.

Transit changes schedules 4 times per year in what are known as ‘service changes’. Between service changes routes are monitored for performance. With each change, there will always be slight tweaks to improve performance.

  • The task of scheduling itself falls into 3 general steps;
  • Assessing and recommending changes to current service
  • Developing the schedules themselves
  • Drivers select their work/prepare for schedule change
