Bus delays expected in Winnipeg Tuesday, Handi-Transit to have limited service

The City of Winnipeg says bus riders should expect delays during their morning commute Tuesday.

Handi-Transit users will also need to find an alternative mode of transportation as only dialysis patients and riders with medical appointments will be picked up.

The interruption to service comes as the city tries to cleanup after a Sunday blizzarddumped at least 25 centimetres of snow on the city.

• Boxing Day blizzard hitting Manitoba closes highways
• Dozens of Winnipeg flights cancelled ahead of winter blizzard
• Winnipeg declares parking ban to clear snow-clogged streets

The cancellations are more than just bad news for folks who rely on Handi-Transit, said Libby Zdriluk, who uses a wheelchair to get around.

She called the service "vital."

"I think of someone who probably hasn't been able to get out from the last week," said Zdriluk. "That's scary."

Snow clearing continues tomorrowbeginning with back lanes.

City crews will also be working Tuesday to pick up garbage and recycling that wasn't picked up Monday.
