VIDEO: Inside Look at the New Winnipeg Airport

Written By Ken | No Comments

Our new state of the art Airport has been moving closer and closer to completion and is looking amazing.

Take a look at this video slide show of some interior construction photos.

Queen Elizabeth II made Winnipeg history last month when she became the first official visitor to arrive at our new Airport.

The Airport is expected to be open to the public by the end of the year. Looking forward to TGI Fridays!

Winnipeg Transit Mobile Website and Computer App

Written By Brian | No Comments

Winnipeg Transit has opened up their mobile website which allows users to create a trip planner, get bus stop information, find routes, and access maps and fare prices.

The BUSguide website can be accessed by opening your cell phone browser to beta.m.winnipegtransit.com.

The BUSgadget app, which should be available at the Winnipeg Transit website, will show a real time count down of bus departures at certain stops.

This is all possible with the installation of the GPS technology that was installed on busses last September.
