Brandon Transit TransCab Service

Brandon, MB – Brandon Transit is pleased to offer TransCab, a supplementary transportation service designed for residents in parts of the city where regular bus routes are not available. Since its launch in 2019, TransCab has ensured areas of Brandon remain connected to public transit. 

TransCab offers a seamless connection to the Brandon Transit network by allowing riders to book a return trip directly from their homes to the designated TransCab bus stops. Transit riders may be picked up by a contracted cab company or by a Brandon Transit employee. There is no additional fare for using TransCab, and the service operates during regular Transit hours of operation.

This service is available for anyone traveling to or from the following neighbourhoods:

·       13th St. between Richmond Ave. and Queens Ave.

·       Braecrest Dr. between 18th St. and Knowlton Dr.

·       McDonald Ave.

·       Portola Dr. between 9th St. and 1st St.

·       Willowdale Cres. between 26th St. and 34th St.

Riders will need to register for this service by calling the Dispatch Office at 204-729-2241. Once registered, riders can call the Dispatch Office and arrange for pickups at least one hour in advance. For those with routine travel needs, regular scheduled pick-ups can be arranged for added convenience. 

“Brandon Transit is committed to maintaining reliable transit and supporting the transportation needs of our residents,” said Carla Richardson, Director of Transportation Services. “By offering TransCab, we ensure that everyone, especially those living in neighborhoods not served by traditional bus routes, has a convenient, affordable, and seamless way to connect with the rest of the city.”
