Tales from the Transit Line
Eyewitness News from the Evening Commute:
A man gets on the bus at East Hastings and Main. He’s carrying a large black, lumpy garbage bag that clearly does not contain empty cans or bottles.
He is obviously in a hurry as he mutters “Don’t stop, don’t stop,” to the bus driver when he approaches yellow lights.
At one point, the man with the bag pulls out an orange spray bottle and sprays an odorless substance on his shoes.
His nails are black and appear as though he’s been digging in the dirt with his bare hands.
His head is shaven, but not cleanly.
He gets off the bus at Hastings and Cassiar, near the highway.
