Edmonton transit drivers are sharing images of what they are seeing on buses and the LRT on a sometimes daily basis in the hopes it will push the city to hire more transit peace officers.

Harminder Brar has been driving ETS buses for 12 years and says he has never seen the system in such chaos. He describes how he and fellow operators regularly see open drug use and unruly passengers.

I used to take the LRT all the time, now I would rather walk 15 blocks in a blizzard. I carry bus tickets and granola bars for the poor souls on the street but wouldn’t feel safe riding anymore.

@MrtniLady I haven't been on it for a couple of years. I was using it in the daytime to go downtown. It didn't seem bad at that time. Sounds like it has gotten worse.

Covid 19 seemed to be the catalyst for the change IMO😷​
