Winnipeg's new transit system, which launched with the aim of increasing efficiency

Winnipeg's new transit system, which launched with the aim of increasing efficiency and reducing traffic congestion, faced criticism from users on its first full day of operation.

The system has been restructured into a primary line system with four types of routes: Rapid, Frequent Express, Frequent, and Direct Lines. While the city is encouraging residents to report any issues and adapt to the changes, some users, like Ken Berryman, expressed confusion and dissatisfaction with the new setup, citing longer waits and less frequent buses.

Jesse Dizon, another user, remained optimistic that the system would improve with time as people become more accustomed to the new routes. Bjorn Radstrom, Manager of Service Development with Winnipeg Transit, acknowledged the learning curve for both users and the transit service itself and encouraged the public to provide feedback to help refine the system.
