10:00 – Last winter was a nightmare for anyone who depended on Saskatoon city transit. There were dozens of bus breakdowns, route cancellations, and buses out of service for prolonged periods of time. Transportation and construction GM Terry Schmidt and transit director Jim McDonald blamed supply chain issues, but the city’s auditor found a different reason. According to the report: “The main reasons for the service disruptions include ineffective operations of stores in Transit, ineffective governance processes, and an ineffective preventative maintenance program.” The city’s auditor, Sohail Saleem, joins Taylor to discuss the audit.
