The plan is to put this into place early in the next decade,

Here are 11 facts regarding the $138+million, 3.5km dedicated busway that was recently announced.
1. Buses are not rapid transit. Nor can they ever be. Rapid transit, by definition, involves rail vehicles running on their own right-of-way—above or below the ground. In the strictest sense, most LRT systems are not even rapid transit, but streetcar [...]

TRUWinnipeg was part of a group of people that met with someone high up at City Hall on Friday.
