List of Winnipeg bus routes
This is a list of bus routes in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Winnipeg Transit provides public bus service to the city of Winnipeg, operating 85 bus routes,[1] and 5165 bus stops[2] as of August 2023. Many routes on this list have more than one ultimate destination, even on trips travelling in the same direction. For instance, the Route 16 Osborne (southbound) has five ultimate destinations; all trips travel down Osborne Street as far as Kingston Row, but beyond that point they diverge depending on their signage. These "diverges" are called "Route Branches", or if your fancy, "Route Variants".
All routes are wheelchair accessible.
