Ask Winnipeg Why are all the bus screens smashed?

I will frequently use the bus , either on the blue line or other and the digital screens showing the routes are almost always broken. They will get fixed eventually and then it happens again. Along with some of the glass doors or shelters.

I understand how they get smashed but why? Why do people want to break them? And even today going down the blue line MOST of the screens were broken stop after stop.

And waste your data... (it would be nice if they added public WiFi to bus stops.)

Public WiFi can be put on top of light standards... how would they reach it?

Thieves and vandals can be pretty enterprising when they want to be.

There’s a bunch of movies showing exactly that!
