“By integrating On-Request into more communities, we are making it easier for Winnipeggers to connect with jobs, education, and essential services,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham in a press release. “Enhancements like this help set the stage for the launch of our new transit network next summer.”
The service will move to the Winnipeg Transit+ On-Request app on Aug. 27. This app, which also serves Winnipeg Transit Plus, will replace the current On-Request app. Passengers are encouraged to download the new app from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or use it on web browsers at winnipegtransit.com/bookonrequest.
The On-Request service will expand into a new zone, 103 Maples, Sept. 1. This zone will be available:
