Charter Bus Service
Please note: Charter Services are available for groups of any size, subject to the availability of the equipment and Bus Operators. Due to current high demand for regular transit service, we are not able to offer charter services during weekday rush hours (Monday to Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.)
A Transit bus for your transportation needs
Winnipeg Transit buses may be booked to transport your group for a sightseeing tour, school field trip, church outing, wedding, corporate meeting, and sporting or entertainment event to any location within the City of Winnipeg.
Conventions and Special Events
Winnipeg Transit charters are also available to carry your convention delegates, sport teams or corporate clients to and from their hotels, meeting locations, banquets, and sporting or entertainment facilities while visiting our city.
Airport Transfers
You can also charter a Winnipeg Transit bus to pick up and drop off your group at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. Baggage can be safely stowed in the wheelchair area on-board the bus, allowing for the comfortable seating of 28 passengers.
Trip Planning
Our friendly and professional charter team will work with you to plan the most convenient and budget-wise travel package to meet your personalized transportation needs.
Our vehicles feature
We have a large fleet of reliable, clean, full-sized low-floor accessible buses, which seat up to 38 passengers, or alternately can accommodate up to two wheelchairs and 28 passengers. Small-sized low-floor accessible buses seat up to 22 passengers, or can alternately accommodate up to two wheelchairs and 12 passengers.
For your comfort, all low-floor accessible buses have a kneeling feature to lower the front door to curb level for easy “no step” boarding, and are climate controlled for year-round comfort.
For your convenience, some of our buses have an on-board public announcement system.
Experienced staff
Our professional, skilled and courteous Bus Operators have superior driver training and the highest regard for safety.
Quality service
We’ve been reliably transporting groups of people for over 100 years, and our professional charter team prides itself in taking care of all the details to ensure that your group arrives at your destination safely, comfortably and on time.
We offer door-to-door service (where possible) at a reasonable rate.
