I'm now painting plywood in my backyard, so it seems it did work.

First ride on Winnipeg's new transit network this morning. Used the Blue Line on Portage to connect to a @pegcitycarcoop.bsky.social cargo van for a backyard construction project.

Opinion: Frequency is what works for transit On an evening in late December last year, I was riding the Route 11 bus with my two young kids and partner. The youngest was asleep in the stroller, his older sister was sitting on my lap cheerily tel...

"When we focus on reducing waits, transit becomes as seamless as a stroll and ride. The joy of riding the bus is measured in books read; it’s in the time spent next to your kids, holding your kids, and talking to your kids face to face."

This is such sad news. John was such an amazing volunteer to work with.

Thank you Mayor @scottgillingham.bsky.social for your visit to the @westendbiz.bsky.social to discuss safety with businesses in the neighbourhood! Thanks also to Councillors Mark Chambers and Cindy Gilroy for joining us.

Believe it or not, this garden centre is located on Ellice between Sherbrook and Maryland.

I made a metro-style map of the frequent, frequent expr and the phase 2 frequent routes. Imagining our local services plugging into this network (where buses arrive so often you don't need a schedule) I think makes the potential stand out. (dots on the route are not real stops, just hypotheticals)

Our family relies on transit as our main mode of transportation. Every trip we take will be impacted in one way or another. What makes me excited about the new network is that it considers high frequency service as a top priority and makes it possible to increase frequency in the future.

Very sad news from city council today.

This is very exciting. This isn't just changing routes, it's changing conceptually how transit in Winnipeg can be used: It's becoming network that makes it more convenient to do all trips, not just the ones along the route nearest your home.

I love this, but can you really ride ALL of route 77 in less than 3 months?

My favourite chart from the latest Q4 quarterly report: Openings by type in the @westendbiz.bsky.social in 2024.

New Winnipeg Transir bus stop sign for EB Morley at Nassau (stop no. 10036) along with the additional notice board telling everyone about the network transformation coming on June 29.

And so it begins...

As spring starts to bloom, so to do new bus stops signs for the launch of our brand new route network in June!
