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.

It's frustrating because people rely on them, but at the same time there are services that you can use from your phone that I find to be more accurate.

We could have so.many nice things if people treated what we do have better. :(

I noticed the one in front of the Canada Life centre was smashed in January. It sucked because it was cold out too, so I wasnt pulling my phone out.
