I decided to ask for the incident reports of the 503 bus route because that is the bus some of my family, including my dad, aunt, and my boyfriend, take the most to travel to and from home. It is also the same bus route that a lot of my friends from high school take too. I requested the past three years because that is when my boyfriend started to take the bus and ever since then I have heard some crazy things from him that he witnessed on the bus. I also heard stories from my dad, my aunt and seen posts on facebook about incidents that happened while taking this bus. I am hoping to uncover how many incidents have happened on this bus route alone to see how safe taking the bus really is for my family and friends. If I were to make another request it would most likely be to ICBC to see how many accidents this bus has gotten into as well.  


There was no name to address for the freedom of information coordinator, so I hyperlinked the freedom of information contact page in the words “information access coordinator” found above the address.

  1. I like you idea for the FOI request. It would be interesting to find out the incidents that take place on your daily route back home. I like how you have narrowed your request by route and date. There is nothing i could suggest so good job!

  4. This is a very well thought-out request, and I think your rationale behind it is very sound. I would be interested in seeing the result of this request. There are a couple grammar mistakes in the request but they don't take away from the content of it.
