Bare-chested driver draws Thunder Bay Transit's attention
49
More like the job has no respect for them. These drivers are treated very poorly by their management and supervisors, they are spit on, punched and verbally assaulted daily by the public. Drivers have extremely stressful time pressure schedules to deal with on top of navigating around some of the worst most entitled vehicle drivers and pedestrians in the country. Bus drivers are called in at any hour of the day and may be forced to drive for 14 hours a day with little to no breaks while their union does nothing to help them. Available washrooms are few and far between or may put them way behind schedule. I applaud this driver for taking a stand, I can't imagine how hot it must get in that tiny little driver compartment surrounded by windshields and glass.

That's great does this private security have the ability to arrest and use physical force as needed? Having patrols looking on it once in awhile is absolutely ludicrous you may as well not even bother. You need to post people one on each end 24/7 until the bridge is repaired. Anything less is just a complete waste of time and does nothing to provide security.

Rest in Peace remaining Ma and Pa stores. We didn't need another 'walmart' type store.

Wonder what the comments would be if this man wasn't Caucasian. Probably not "give the guy a break" or "legend."

Bet that you have a nice cushy job with plenty of air conditioning right? I bet you air conditioning on this bus wasn't working. I'm guessing it's been a long time since you've ridden one of those buses if you ever have at all and don't know how hot they can get. Honestly I can't say I blame him it's not like it was hurting anybody he didn't do anything illegal.

YAWN.... Interesting though is that the whole "Buy Canadian" thing is very selective isn't it?

I’m glad Costco is finally coming to Thunder Bay. They will certainly give the 3 Walmarts a good run for their money.

not to get political, but our governments haven't done a thing about the crazy rising costs for groceries in the past few years. a lot of talk and no action. Costco will save a lot of people money as it is much cheaper than shopping at places like Walmart & superstore.

Getting bad over there. No respect for the job.

It is beyond time for the hospital to provide covered parking, especially for handicapped who have to shlep through snow in winter.

I hope that the next council reverses the tragedy of cancelling fireworks and bring them back. They were always enjoyed by everyone.

The city will not be offering a fireworks show on Canada Day night, a decision that dates back to 2021 following the discovery of 200 potential burial sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.Remind me again how these two events are somehow connected???

Parking should be free.

BRING BACK THE FIREWORKS! Why are Canadians the only ones not allowed to openly celebrate their heritage?

Legend!

Use force? For what? If someone needs to be arrested they can call law enforcement. Security is there as a deterrent and to move people along. Likely the worst they’re going to find is someone sleeping off some drink.

Canada day is just not the same without the fireworks.

Maybe this driver was driving an out of service bus over for repairs without passengers.
