Introducing the New Era of Winnipeg Transit Plus ?
Last month, Spare had the pleasure of joining Winnipeg for the launch of their improved Winnipeg Transit Plus service on June 18th! This upgrade signified an impactful step in enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and reliability for users who cannot use the city’s fixed route transit system due to a physical disability. The new system will leverage Spare's modern technology to streamline the scheduling and dispatching processes by modernizing system operations.?
"We're excited to offer these new accessible options when using our service," said Teresa Platt, Manager of Client Services, Winnipeg Transit. "They will significantly reduce barriers and improve the entire user experience."?
This leap in operational efficiency is anticipated to significantly improve on-time performance, leading to shorter wait times and a more responsive service overall.?
