With its introduction\, every existing bus route in the city was replaced overnight. This citywide transformation—affecting more than 750\,000 residents—was the result of over five years of planning\, public engagement\, and coordination across departments. This presentation highlights key lessons learned from delivering such a complex and ambitious project. \nSince launch\, the PTN has continued to evolve\, with a number of smaller adjustments already made and additional improvements planned. By reflecting on both successes and areas for improvement\, this presentation offers practical insights for planners and engineers considering large-scale transit redesigns. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the challenges and opportunities involved in transforming an entire network in a single day\, and why careful planning\, flexibility\, and collaboration are essential to success. \nSpeaker: Adam Budowski\, M.Sc.\, P.Eng. \nAdam Budowski is the Senior Transit Planner at Winnipeg Transit\, where he played a pivotal role in implementing the city’s redesigned bus network. One of Adam’s top career goals is to reduce the impact of ‘silo-ing’ – a concept that is too familiar across many organizations. He strives to create an environment where work isn’t work\, it’s just conversations with other passionate Winnipeggers who want to improve government efficiencies.
