Some Edmonton transit drivers have become so frustrated with what they have to deal with regularly that they're taking photos and speaking out. Verbal abuse is common and there have been physical abuse incidents as well making for a traumatic work environment.

Steve Bradshaw, the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 569 president, says the city needs to ensure more peace officers are hired, better supports are available for vulnerable Edmontonians and an increase in warming centres and enforcement to ensure passengers don't just stay on the buses or LRT cars.
