WINNIPEG, Man. – A perceived threat against Winnipeg Transit (WT) employees on Twitter on July 20 has caused local controversy on the social-media site, with other users calling for criminal charges against the accused woman. “My bus is 20 minutes late every single day,” posted the woman, identified on her account as Madison Beadles, 19. “I will murder the driver next time just a heads up [sic].” WT’s response, “Thanks for reaching out. We would like to investigate your concern,” received criticism from other users for being generic and insufficient. Avie Erdile tweeted in response to the Winnipeg Police Service on the following day that he would be “happy to file” a report on the matter, and another user later posted that police were investigating. Local media reports have stated that WT has seen 16 reported assaults against bus drivers to date in 2017.
