Major changes to the city's transit route system next year were up for discussion at city hall on Tuesday, and while some are in favour of the overhaul, not everyone is on board.
The Winnipeg Transit master plan's recommended primary transit network would have buses operate high frequency routes along major roads, while feeder routes would run along smaller streets and connect with the primary lines where riders can transfer.
Released in 2021, the master plan lays out a 25-year vision that aims to nearly triple the number of households living within walking distance of a frequent bus route — meaning a bus arriving every 10 minutes during rush hour and 15 minutes the rest of the day — to 58 per cent from the current 21 per cent.
The changes would be implemented on June 29, 2025, when ridership is lower, according to Winnipeg Transit.
"This is all because we want to deliver better transit service," Coun. Janice Lukes, chair of the public works committee, told reporters at city hall on Tuesday. "We want to have higher frequency. We want to have more dependable service."
