Winnipeg Transit 397 (2019 XD60) on Route 55 St. Anne's

Because New Year's Eve 2023/24 fell on a Sunday, Winnipeg Transit extended Sunday service that night until after 1:30 AM. To accomplish this, they added extra runs to the schedule. The driver of Bus 397, operating on the BLUE line that night, was assigned to do the extra run 55-83, after finishing the BLUE in St. Norbert. That's how an articulated bus ended up on Route 55. In addition to getting photos of it, I also ended up riding it, and recording the ride. I hope you enjoy.
