Homeless in Vancouver: Move along, nothing to see here
1 of 1 2 of 1
As I was on my way to bed last night, I saw emergency responder vehicles attending to something transit-related in the 2700-block Granville Street
The photo shows the scene at around 11 p.m. on the southwest corner of South Granville Street at 11th Avenue.
I saw no activity on the sidewalk, just a seemingly empty, articulated trolley bus with its poles down, a Fire Medic truck, an ambulance, and a Vancouver police ghost car—one of the new Dodge Chargers.

having some fun waking up the neighbours as another one of those suspicious 'known to police' characters infesting this town threatens to punch out the bus driver

Bus drivers need and deserve better security. It's hardly just about drivers. Violence against drivers endangers everyone on a bus.
However neither TransLink/Coast Mountain nor the drivers' union seem to care a wet slap about the driveres or the transit users.
I don't care if they get a "union wage." TransLink/Coast Mountain bus drivers are little better off than plantation workers in my opinion.
I believe that few important infrastructure elements in Metro Vancouver are as thoroughly broken as the TransLink-run transit system.
