Don Woodstock, a former bus driver and mayoral candidate in Winnipeg, discusses his vision for improving public transportation. He highlights the challenges faced by bus drivers, including harsh winters and lack of respect. Woodstock criticizes the recent transit overhaul, which cost $4 million and led to route changes that left passengers in the cold. He advocates for electrifying 30-40% of the bus fleet to save long-term costs and for deploying plainclothes officers on buses to enhance safety. Woodstock also emphasizes the need for practical solutions, citing his experience and the city's potential for environmental initiatives like compost pickup.
