The BC government has suspended bus operations by Mi Joo Tour and Travel of Coquitlam  after one of its buses crashed in Oregon last month, killing nine people, and injuring dozens more.


The Transportation Ministry says an audit of the BC company after the crash showed it was not meeting its obligations around driver hours of service and pre-trip inspections. 


US operations were recently suspended by the Department of Transportation.

    Gosh darn. Too bad "THE TOWN DRUNK" no Not our "TOWN DRUNK" The one from Kelowna got rid of the motor vehical inspection stations with the 1983 budget. And when is the drivers licence branch going to retest the "NEW CANADIANS" that bought their drivers licence from "THE NEW CANADIAN" that handed them out like popcorn before he got fired in Richmond????????????? Come on Mary "deer caught in the headlights" Polak. Where the hell are you on this one??????????

      @BY I hear you. Mary Mary quite contrary when are you going to wake up that our Motor Vehicle Super is ineffective and our licencing, vehicle inspections have become a useless process under the BC Liaberals. The last I heard was that this charter bus operation had a good safety record, but it took the Americans to shed light on the truth such as the ecoli issue with XL foods. What is it the Americans are doing that we aren't. When is it that our corrent governing bodies going to take public safety seriously and begin to protect us from these kinds of situations?
