The Main Terminal is a certified environmentally friendly building. There are many transportation links located at arrivals, including taxis, sedans, public transit buses and car rentals. A taxi ride to downtown Winnipeg will cost approximately $18 CAD and a ride in a sedan will cost $32 CAD. Sedans are great if you have a large group or have a lot of luggage to transport.
