It comes with the bus-riding territory: with blustery winter weather, you can expect delays and detours.
Calgary Transit officials say they do their best to ensure service disruptions are minimal.
However, Spokesperson Katie Turner tells City News occasionally a bus will get stuck on an impassable road.
“There’s a few things that customers can do, in weather like this, to help us out as well,” she said. “If your bus stop is in the middle of a hill, the best thing to do is to go to a stop either at the bottom or the top of the hill, because it’s obviously a bit difficult to stop a giant, big bus on a hill, and it’s difficult to get it going again. Also, dressing warmly, and leaving a little extra time for travel.”
