Winnipeg Transits ‘On-Request’ service is now available in 12 zones. Think of it as Uber or Lyft, but on a Winnipeg Transit bus. You schedule a pick up via App and a Winnipeg Transit bus comes to you! Here’s how it works:
How Winnipeg Transit On-Request Works
On-Request buses travel anywhere within a zone that buses can fit. The path they take is determined by an app that plans the route in real time, picking up and dropping off other passengers along the way.
You need to request a trip before you board the bus. You don’t request in advance – wait until you’re ready to leave.
You can make your request by:
- Using the Winnipeg Transit+ On-Request app (available on the App Store for iPhones and Google Play for Androids)
- Booking online
- Contacting 311 and following the prompts to book On-Request Transit
After making your request, you’ll get step-by-step instructions for where and when to meet the bus, usually at the nearest bus stop within about 20 min. You’ll also find out where it will drop you off and get an estimate for the total trip time.
