Winnipeg’s Transit Needs a 50-50 Fix
from Winnipeg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Winnipeg’s transit fight just got a catchy soundtrack: John Samson Fellows teamed up with the Climate Action Team to launch “Next Stop 50-50,” a campaign pushing for a 50-50 funding split between province and city — echoing a model from the 70s that’s been broken twice since. With Winnipeg Transit losing $18 million this year and only $42 million in provincial support, the campaign’s jingle aims to rally voters ahead of municipal elections. Fellows, a longtime transit storyteller, crafted a short, punchy tune to remind Winnipeggers that better transit isn’t optional — it’s essential for equity and connection.
