A majority of Winnipeggers want to see the city put more cash towards beefing up Winnipeg's public transit infrastructure and bike lanes.
In a recent Probe Research poll, commissioned by CTV News Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Free Press, more than half of Winnipeggers (52 per cent) said they think the city should invest more money into new public transit infrastructure, including dedicated bike lanes.
Most of this support is found in the city's core area, followed by those living in the southeast area of the city. Support for more public transit spending was similar between the remaining areas of Winnipeg.
Younger Winnipeggers were more likely to agree with more spending for public transit, along with University graduates, renters, and NDP supporters. On the political plain, those who support the PC party were least likely to agree with more public transit spending.
