Since the departure of Greyhound to Brandon and Western Manitoba businessman Lindsey Heintz saw an opening for a new opportunity. Westman Shuttle is slated to be open for business towards the end of February.   Now the difference between Brandon Airport Shuttle and Lindsey's business is people can book a seat on the shuttle and go shopping or do medical tests and appointment's. Heintz said to BDNMB.CA that they will goto Costco, the Outlet Mall, Polo Park and the Health Sciences centre at first.   He has his eye on another van as they hope to expand in the future. Heintz said his staff will look professional and will be very helpful with seniors and people that need extra help. https://westmanshuttle.com/password Lindsey Cell - 403 872 4956
