Ride to Winnipeg
9/23/2016 at 8:30 PM

Well, with only 2 buses going in both at the dinner hour there's no reprieve if you miss the because the driver left 10 minutes early!. Booked and pid for a hotel already. Anyone driving in? (How is it that we can have an airport and West Jet flights but can't have decent continued bus service?

I hope your not trying to get there tonight! Try Brandon air shuttle? I don't know if they take non airport customers though.

And yes, Brandon Air Shuttle does take non-airport customers. Thank you for your sympathy though.

Uber and Uber XL would be great for westman, the bus service used to be so convenient now it's terrible!

I'm surprised there's a bus at all

Air shuttle is far better in my opinion....and who rides the bus anymore? I mean there are people like yourself who for whatever reason need the bus but running 4 or 5 buses into Winnipeg with 3 people on them (like they used to) quickly bankrupts you.

Bus

I ride the bus from Brandon frequently to the city, and it is never only three people, it's usually full or one seat empty there is a need. Not everyone has a vehicle or someone who can drive them in.

I would suggest anyone needing to take the bus
9/25/2016 at 1:54 PM

should be at the bus Depot somewhat early, not time it to get there with less than 10 minutes to go to departure time. That way if the bus leaves a few (10) minutes early you don't miss your ride.

Did the OP find a way into Winnipeg ?
