Winnipeg councillor and advocates criticize new bus network for service cuts

Winnipeg councillor and advocates criticize the new bus network for service cuts and lack of equity, particularly impacting low-income neighborhoods. The new system removed approximately 1,200 stops, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations, leading to longer walks and safety concerns for essential workers. Winnipeg Transit is reviewing rider feedback and considering revisions, with more extensive changes planned for November, while the mayor encourages continued public input.
