Protesters arrested after 5-hour takeover of last STC bus
Saskatoon police arrested several protesters who took over a Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) bus for nearly five hours Wednesday evening.
Six arrived on the last bus from Regina around 8:30 p.m., refusing to get off at the Saskatoon bus station. A seventh protester from inside the station ran past security and joined them.
Nearly 100 demonstrators stood inside the bus terminal, cheering them on and singing songs about saving the 71-year-old bus company, which ended its operations Wednesday night.
“We’re going to make sure we’re a pain in (the government’s) ass, because they’re a pain in ours,” Damion Graham, one of the protesters on the bus, said.
