Greyhound Security Measures… are they kidding
Posted by Carol in ResourcesMar 15th, 2009 | one response
Geyhounds increased security measures are a joke as we’ve all come to realize. The only reason they did anything at all was not because of what happened to Timothy rather it was to quiet the public demand for them to do something…anything. Was it a coincidence that these increased measures were put in place in late fall just prior to the upcoming holiday season? They did not want their ridership numbers to drop so they provided the public with a false sense of security. They published in the newspapers which 3 major terminals would be conducting the searches. I guess maybe criminals cannot read and figure out where NOT to board a bus with weapons or other banned items.(Vince Li did not get on the bus at a major depot) Until they, (Greyhound) get serious, checking and searching at all terminals, all passengers, and all luggage all the time and not after noon when security begins(I guess violent offenders don’t travel before noon). How do we the public even begin to take them seriously? what a joke, I find it insults our intelligence

As a result of not having a driver’s liscence I have had to take Greyhound on numerous occasions since September. this route runs from Winnipeg to Brandon. Only once were we ever checked at a security point in Winnipeg and that was in October.
There were no checks in Brandon or any of the small towns on that route and I believe there were at least 4 stops along the way.
The route running north to Gladstone, Neepawa, Minnedosa and then Brandon after a nearly five hour ride was the same. So I agree with Carol 100%. Tim’s bus was re-boarded by Mr. Li in Erickson, another small town in Manitoba on a route to Brandon. I have not been through a security check in Winnipeg since then and have travelled since October.
