BLUE Rapid Transit Line

BLUE RT pre-launch banner

BLUE is Winnipeg’s first rapid transit line, providing service between Unicity and southwest Winnipeg, via Portage Avenue, Main Street and the Southwest Transitway.

View route details for BLUE here.

The Southwest Transitway

Completed in 2019, the Southwest Transitway is an 11-kilometre dedicated roadway constructed to keep the BLUE rapid transit line separate from other traffic, allowing buses to travel at speeds up to 80 km/h.

Passengers have access to a number of amenities along the Transitway, designed with an easier, more comfortable commute in mind.

Seel Station

There are 665 park and ride spots located adjacent to Seel Station.

Park and Ride

More than 1,000 park and ride spots are available at Seel Station and Clarence Station.

The parking spots are available for special events at attractions along the BLUE Rapid Transit Line, including IG Field, and are provided free of charge for anyone using Transit services.

Additionally, passengers can get dropped off at a Kiss and Ride located at Beaumont Station.

Active Transportation

A protected and accessible active transportation path runs along the full length of the Southwest Transitway, connected to existing active routes and illuminated at night to enhance safety and visibility.

Bike Lockers and Racks

Each station along the Southwest Transitway is outfitted with bike lockers, to allow for easy transitions from bike to bus.

For passengers who prefer to take their bikes with them, many BLUE buses are outfitted with a bike rack capable of carrying two bicycles, in all seasons but winter. Online schedules display a bike icon to identify routes with bike racks on them.

Station Amenities

Digital displays feature real-time passenger information at each of the stations, which are also outfitted with heated bus shelters.

Public Art

Passengers riding the BLUE rapid transit line can take in public art projects along the route, thanks to a partnership with the Winnipeg Arts Council.
