Another senseless attack on one of our members. Enough is enough, workers and riders deserve to be safe on public transit systems. #NotOneMore #1u #canlab #labour #TTC @ATUlocal113 torontosun.com/news/local-n...

🌬️ Hot tip! Our A/C isn't trying to cool all of Halifax. 😄 Keep the bus windows closed so the cool air stays where it belongs! Bonus tip: the back seats sit over the engine, so they're the warmest seats onboard. Save them for winter! 🚌❄️ #bustips #HfxTransit #Halifax #heatwave #HalifaxTransit

A bus without working A/C is a health & safety issue for passengers & operators. Don't assume someone else will report it. **Call 311 every single time you ride a bus with no A/C. Report the bus # on the front—not the route** Every call demands accountability #HeatWave #Halifax #HfxTransit #Halisky

A bus without working A/C is a health and safety concern for both passengers and operators. If you ride one, call 311 and report the **bus number** (on the front of the bus), not the route number. Every report helps ensure the issue gets attention. #Halisky #HfxTransit #bustips #safety

🥵 Help your bus chill out! 😎 Every open window lets the A/C escape. Once they're closed, it can take quite a while to cool such a big bus again. Keep the windows shut and let the cold air do its job! 🚌❄️ #HalifaxTransit #Halifax #KeepCool #HeatWave #HfxTransit #bustips

As of Monday ATU 1320 is in Negotiations with The City of Ptbo. Our members deserve a fair and equitable contract.

In case you needed more evidence about why you are struggling to make ends meet. The newest Statistics Canada’s Consumer Price Index data on inflation reveals that Nova Scotia is leading the country in overall cost increase. #nspoli

#DYK #bustips On a hot bus, not the driver's choice. All buses have AC, but not all works! The hottest place to sit is the rear, on the diesel motor. If the a AC is running, pls don't open windows! Vents are in the ceiling & cool air is sucked out. #Halifax #hfxtransit #novascotia

#DYK #bustips If the air conditioning is running & people open windows, air is going right out the window. Vents are in the ceiling & cooler air is sucked out the window. The coolest spot on the bus is in the middle between the doors. #Halifax #hfxtransit #Sackville #novascotia #Dartmouth

#DYK #bustips If you are on a hot hot bus, please know it's not the driver's choice. All buses have AC, but not all have working AC. The hottest place to sit is the rear of the bus, on that big diesel motor. #Halifax #hfxtransit #Sackville #novascotia #Dartmouth
