Viafreak Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Why not create a new 96 to pair with the 94 just like the 84/86? Or make the 94 a normal route (running both clockwise and counterclockwise)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg has never had tokens before. As I understand it these won't be sold directly to the general public, but sold to social services agencies specifically for distribution to their clients. Those tokens look a lot like TTC tokens except maybe bigger. Is the Jonathan Borland mentioned in that story any relation to former Transit Director Rick Borland?

One would expect the lights on the driver's side to be lit, because he has the shield behind him to keep glare off the windshield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpgtransit183-2 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Transits Fort rouge garage G expansion plan was up for vote by city halls infrastructure and public works committee. I don't if we should start a thread for this I'll be taking pictures as the project starts taking shape I'll also be asking bus is coming 1965 if he would be able to also take pictures as construction begins.

Viafreak Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 There is another route expansion proposal up for a vote. Route 85 could be expanded to service Headmaster and Devries. My guess is that service would be extended across 59 to a new loop once that loop and road are complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viafreak Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I meant highway 59. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The current route 85 shares its route with the 41 on Headmaster and Rothesay. This proposal would see it provide non-express service to Headmaster and Devries (the current endpoint of the 41 North Kildonan). The 40 runs down Ragsdill (a few streets over). The decision was made to study if the 85 could be extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgtransit183-2 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 found this on the city's website of what the expansion of G will look like in terms of where it's going and how it will look when built. Sorry if the picture is blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
