Winnipeg Transit

It is a easy way to get attention and get people engaged in transit to talk about the old system and the old routes.

But Winnipeg Transit is not going back.

Lukes says next year more benches and shelters are en route.

Abacus polling shows safety and security still needs to be addressed, with over a quarter of riders saying it's a main concern.

Uh, the last I heard was that they were gonna move the stop up, um, to the next, almost the next intersection of the parking lot of the building beside us, and they didn't get back to me.

I have stopped getting in contact with my counselor that was working with me.

Uh, Winnipeg Transit and using 311, they don't respond to any emails or anything like that.

And, uh, we last heard that they're moving it up 10 feet to help us.

The University of Winnipeg used to be United College.

And so I guess I owe a lot to Winnipeg Transit in that sense, just my existence.

But I started taking the bus as soon as I was allowed to, which was quite young, I think.

So I remember just like getting on the bus and going downtown with my friends in, you know, like when I was 12 and 13 and just wandering around downtown.

Uh, I, I, you know, I, I want to, before we get to the things I thought we're going to, and, uh, I, I think we're gonna end up building in a- an extra segment here, but it's worth it, folks.

Uh, I want you to address briefly Winnipeg Transit.

I know here in this neighborhood, I was the first one to call out how they had curtailed effective service at night for shift workers from St. Boniface Hospital.

I was very critical of that.

Your view of what's gone on with this change to the transit system in Winnipeg.

Uh, I'm interested in, again, your bewilderment 'cause I, I've been to Toronto in my youth many times, so, uh, I, I have plenty of experience with the TTC and we've never, never approached that.

And your plan for improving Winnipeg Transit operations, Robin.

Yeah.
