WINNIPEG --
The push for one-dollar rides on Winnipeg Transit hit a roadblock at city hall.
On Thursday, a motion for the public service to study the financial impacts of reduced rates or free fares was defeated in a city committee meeting.
The motion was first introduced by Vivian Santos, Point Douglas councillor, who wanted to study two different scenarios: one in which everyone could ride the bus for $1 with the exception of those 11 and under who would ride free, and another in which everyone would ride for free.
"I'm disappointed in (the) tie-vote," Santos said in a tweet following the committee meeting on Thursday.
