A launch date has yet to be announced, but the service says it hopes to be on the road in Steinbach by July 1.

TappCar has been on Winnipeg roads since March 2 and Morris said the launch has gone so well, they are looking for more drivers.

As for the service expanding to other Manitoba cities, Morris said it is still a possibility.

“We would love to go into Brandon,” Morris said. “We would like them to get the bylaws in place.”
