As it looks from the bus fleet size, the city is constrained due to operating costs. Moving more users onto larger buses, and possibly LRT at some point in the future is the only way to increase service without raising the operational subsidy. Winnipeg shouldn't be wedded to BRT anymore than Calgary be wedded to LRT.
