VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – It has happened a few times in recent weeks, passengers prying SkyTrain doors open and walking on the tracks after delays, even very minor ones.
Anne Drennan with Transit Police says they want to send a strong message to riders.
“This is not acceptable behaviour, it is unsafe and it creates further delays for passengers and for the lines in general, so I’m quite sure that in the future, we will be taking steps to penalize people for this kind of behaviour.”
Despite the issues, she says you won’t see officers on every train, “It’s not logistically feasible and it won’t be in the immediate future,” she adds.
Drennan says those caught doing it could face fines.
