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.
