The Winnipeg Transit Master Plan has been given a final green light by city council, after a lengthy debate about its potential cost.
Council cast a final 15-1 vote Thursday evening, to approve the proposal that will cost up to $1.5 billion, redraw nearly all existing bus routes, create a network of six rapid transit corridors, and add electric buses to the fleet over the next 25 years. (The) master plan really does provide a road map for Winnipeg Transit to modernize and make long-needed improvements, said Mayor Brian Bowman.
