The Halifax Regional Municipality, a body corporate duly incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nova Scotia c.o.b. under the name of Metro Transit and Joey Williams Defendants D E C I S I O N Judge: The Honourable Justice Christa M. Brothers Heard: December 13, 14, 18, 19, and 20, 2017, in Halifax, Nova Scotia Decision: June 20, 2018 Counsel: Wayne Bacchus and Igor Yushchenko, for the plaintiff Guy Harfouche and Brandon Knill, Articled Clerk, for the defendants Page 2 Brothers J.: Overview [1] On the afternoon of May 16, 2011, the plaintiff, Mr. Orlov, boarded a Metro Transit Bus instead of walking to work at Mount Saint Vincent University (“MSVU”), where he was employed as a Librarian. It was a rainy, wet day. Metro Transit Bus No. 971 (the “bus”) stopped at 357 Bedford Highway, headed towards Halifax when the plaintiff boarded. The plaintiff was an experienced bus passenger. While holding his wallet, a bag and a transfer, the plaintiff walked 2018 NSSC 152 (CanLII) toward the back of the bus, fell, and broke his ankle (the “accident”). The sole issue for determination is liability. Damages have been agreed to by the parties. [2] What caused the plaintiff to fall? The plaintiff advanced four theories of causation: 1. The speed of the bus leaving the stop was excessive; 2. The floor of the bus was worn and caused the plaintiff to slip; 3.

  • Top 10 School Bus Companies Blog
    TOP 10 SCHOOL BUS COMPANIES Throughout the years, the task of making the best buses for school transportation has been handled by various companies. This article features 10 school bus companies which made a name for themselves, when it came to redefining the way we look at a school bus. #1 WAYNE CORPORATION Topping our list of companies is Wayne Corporation. Though the company declared itself bankrupt and discontinued operation in 1992, the Wayne Corporation had played a vital role in the development of safe buses for school children. They were the first and foremost to introduce the concept of school buses for schools. Their innovation predates the famous yellow coloured buses which are widely used these days. www.trackschoolbus.com They introduced the horse drawn carts, including kid hacks, which later evolved into automobiles which used full metal body chassis. Wayne Corporation introduced guard rails on the sides of all school buses, inboard wheelchair lifts, and even high-headroom doors. They were the first with a school bus based upon a cutaway van chassis, the Wayne Busette. This chassis design is still one of the most popular in North American markets even after more than 35 years. #2 BLUE BIRD An all time giant, the Blue Bird Corporation (formerly called Blue Bird Body Company) is clearly one of the top school bus manufacturing companies even today. Blue Bird's corporate headquarters and main manufacturing facilities are in Georgia. www.trackschoolbus.com It was in 1937 that the company began production of full-steel bus bodies. This innovation would soon replace the wooden bodies which were commonly used in the United States.
