Transportation: Transit
Winnipeg Transit, is a city-owned organization which runs the bus system. To use transit you must pay a fare with exact change, tickets, bought in books of ten, or show a monthly bus pass.
Transfers Free with your cash or ticket fare, a "Power Hour" transfer takes you wherever you want to go by transit for one hour. You must request a transfer when you pay your fare and can only be used by the person to whom it was issued. Transfers are valid on any regular bus route on the date of issue and allow travel in any direction, including stopovers and return trips on the same route, until the expiry time shown, approximately 60 minutes! If you're unsure of the expiry time, ask your driver. Customer Service & Information
