Kevin Sturgeon is the Senior Transit Planner with Winnipeg Transit. From ox cart paths to Union Station, he takes us on a quick ride through our transit system's history. Kevin highlights the Winnipeg Transit Master Plan and what led to redesigning the entire system. Have you ever heard of the 'Winnipeg wiggles?' This is what Kevin calls our road system. He explains this and reveals what sets Winnipeg's transit system apart from other cities. He also offers pro tips to open the back door of the bus. This podcast is recorded in Treaty One Territory, the home and traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininew, and Dakota peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
