New night-time hours are one step closer for some Winnipeg Transit routes.

On Thursday, council’s public works committee voted to refer a plan that would add longer hours on 11 fixed bus routes to be considered in the 2026 budget process.

If approved, that would cost $4.4 million and require 33.5 new staff in its first full year.

A plan to extend service hours on 11 bus routes is being considered at city hall.

Council recently approved a separate extension to night-time service for on-request routes.

The changes follow complaints that new primary transit network implemented on June 29 left many riders without a way to get home from work or school.
