As Winnipeg struggles to keep up with repairs to bus shelters with broken glass, the city is looking to test shatterproof glass in hopes that will save time and money down the road.
Cliff Hall rides the bus and never waits in the shelter as it is missing panes of glass.
"Most of the bus stops are in pretty sad repair and are just not looked after anymore," said Hall.
He said several shelters are damaged in the city with multiple panes smashed out.
"The crux of the issue ultimately is if people were housed, they wouldn't be trying to live in bus shacks and maybe causing a little less disruption."
According to Winnipeg Transit, in 2023, 305 bus shelters with 750 panes of glass were damaged, and 115 shelters were missing glass by the end of the year.
To date in 2024, 233 shelters have been damaged, equaling 591 panes of glass and 93 glass doors and there are currently 207 shelters without glass.
