Sun sets on STC as bus 902 departs P.A.
It’s the end of an era in Saskatchewan.
May 31 turned out to be an emotional day outside of the Prince Albert STC bus depot. Number 902 was headed to Hudson Bay at 7:30 p.m., the last STC bus to depart any terminal in the province. As per the last provincial budget, STC busses would stop running at the end of the month.
Two security guards stood on either side of the doors into the bus depot, presumably to keep any planned protests in check. Media were not allowed to enter the building.
A third guard came forward, followed by long-time STC rider Jan Kurbis who clutched a tissue to dab tears from her eyes. She was taking bus 902 to Melfort; her home.
