Halifax has approved a bylaw with the goal of making the city's public transit system a safer place. Despite the news, some still question how effective the enforcement will be.
Those who receive bans have up to three days to appeal their case to a bylaw administrator. If their ban remains, a non-compliant rider could be fined for returning to Halifax Transit property prior to their suspension end date.
The report provided a long list of restricted conduct on transit property that included violations such as carrying dangerous weapons, engaging in any activity that would endanger another passenger and performing a live musical act without the permission of the city.O’Leary said a lot of disturbances occur at Halifax’s Mumford and Lacewood terminals, as well as the bridge terminal in Dartmouth.
“You shouldn’t have to get on the bus and keep your head down and keep your mouth shut and hope not to get assaulted. Our operators have to do that,” O’Leary said.
