Winnipeg’s fleet of 585 buses collectively cover more than 29 million kilometres on city streets each year, but for some reason drivers keep getting dinged with speeding tickets at one location in particular.
Documents released by the City of Winnipeg contained copies of the 76 speeding tickets received by Transit bus drivers since the beginning of 2015. CBC News analyzed the records and found that just over a quarter (20) of the citations were from a mobile photo-radar unit on Grant Avenue and Thurso Street, and just over half (39) were for speeding in school zones.
