Missing a Trip (No-Show)
No-shows cause inconvenience to other customers and waste limited resources.
Remember: You can cancel your trips by calling the automated line 204-986-5711 at any time.
Winnipeg Transit Plus records a no-show on a customer’s file when:
- You cancel the trip less than 30 minutes before the scheduled pick-up window.
- You are not waiting just inside your door on the ground level of your building within five minutes of the driver’s arrival during the pick-up window.
- You are not waiting at the pick-up point for your return trip.
- You are not ready to leave within five minutes of the driver’s arrival during the pick-up window (even if the delay is caused by a caregiver).
- You refuse the trip when it arrives.
- You have more parcels than you can hold on your lap.
- You have not had the path shoveled at your residence in winter.
- Your mobility device is not in working order and/or cannot be properly secured.
You will be notified of any no-show charges.
Winnipeg Transit Plus charges for no-shows during each six-month period.
Return-Trip Cancellation Due to a No-Show
If you are a no-show for your trip to a destination which has a return trip scheduled from that destination, Winnipeg Transit Plus will automatically cancel your return trip. If you do still need the return trip, you must call 204-986-5722 to have the return trip re-instated.
Penalties for Accumulating No-shows
When you incur a no-show, you are notified. If you continue to incur no-shows, you will continue to be notified with accrued charges, which must be paid within the specified time frame.
Incident | Penalty |
---|---|
1st No-show | No charge |
2nd No-show | The equivalent of one fare |
3rd No-show | The equivalent of two fares |
4th No-show | The equivalent of three fares |
5th and further No-shows | $15.00 |
Service is suspended once the amount owed reaches or exceeds $30.00
Late Cancellations
A passenger who cancels with less than 30 minutes before the start of the pick-up window is a late cancellation and considered a no-show. Late cancellations and no-shows take up vehicle time that could have been used to accommodate the travel needs of others.
