In the spirit of Spirit Week, Winnipeg Transit will be offering FREE downtown bus rides from August 9 – 13, 2010. The free rides are available on Downtown Spirit buses only.

The Downtown Spirit free shuttle bus runs from Monday to Friday, 11am to 3:30pm and includes entertainment, prizes and downtown restaurant coupons.

The free shuttle bus can be found on three routes. Routes 1 and 2 connect the core of downtown with The Forks, making a loop that passes down Portage Avenue to The Bay Downtown and along Broadway. Spirit route 3 connects the University of Winnipeg with Red River College Princess Street campus and runs every 30 minutes. Spirit 3 will also have trivia and prizes, but no entertainment.
