Due to a shortage of buses, there will be a reduction of service on select Winnipeg Transit routes until further notice.


Winnipeg Transit currently operates with a minimum number of spare buses. An increase in maintenance requirements have caused a backlog of buses pulled off routes for maintenance, resulting in a shortage of buses available.

Winnipeg Transit will limit Transit service reductions to specific routes to meet demand. Routes with frequent or alternative transit service will have some service reduced in an effort to minimize overall disruption to the Transit system.

Routes most likely to be affected include:

  • Morning rush hour:
    17, 21, 22, 25, 29, 34, 44, 46, 54, 55, 58, 66, 75, 78, 137, 160, 162, 163
  • Afternoon rush hour:
    11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, 29, 41, 44, 46, 55, 58, 75, 77, 183

Transit customers should check winnipegtransit.com, TeleBUS, or 311 on the day they travel for the latest service information for impacted routes.
