Universal bus pass for RRC students delayed until 2019 despite 2017 vote
By The Projector
The Red River College Students Association is conducting a survey with Winnipeg Transit about the implementation of the universal bus pass, or U-Pass for short.
Last year, in spring 2017, RRC students voted to bring the U-Pass to RRC in the fall of 2018. But, a schism about the implementation has pushed the date back to 2019.

The University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg both issued universal passes in fall 2016. The cost is added to student’s tuition — whereas now, RRC students have to pay a monthly post-secondary rate.
The Projector will be following this story to help you understand why the U-Pass won’t be available for RRC students for another year and a half.
