You must request a transfer when you pay your fare and can only be used by the person to whom it was issued. Transfers are valid on any regular bus route on the date of issue and allow travel in any direction, including stopovers and return trips on the same route, until the expiry time shown, approximately 60 minutes! If you're unsure of the expiry time, ask your driver.

Park & Ride
If a bus doesn't operate near your home, or you're tired of traffic congestion and parking hassles, you may find Winnipeg Transit's Park & Ride service a good alternative. You can park your car free of charge and ride the bus to your destination. You should first sign up for a free Park & Ride permit at one of the participating locations. You may then park your car in the designated parking area and board a convenient transit express bus. Parking permits are limited and you can use the special free parking stalls at the following sites around Winnipeg:
