Some changes to Winnipeg Transit roll in on Jan. 1, 2021.
Starting in the new year, children are now able to ride the bus for free if they’re riding with a fare-paying customer.
This applies for children ages 11 and under, while previously only children ages five and under were able to ride for free.
Also starting Friday, one-time fares are up by five cents and monthly passes have increased from about one to two dollars depending on the pass.
