Seeing a lot of these lately. Can barely read the plate through them.

Sorry for the terrible quality picture.

Were they getting photo radar tickets or something when their buses speed at 60 through the local playground zone? (I have seen this more than a few times) I know they have an ID number on the bus too, but I bet you can't issue a ticket excepting using a plate, legally.

If it's okay for them, why should it be prohibited for everyone else? :banghead:

I see the buses by Dalhousie Station go way over the limit in the playground zone all the time. I thought that as long as the cover is clear then it's alright...
:dunno:

These covers were clear, but very shiny. Now they are getting quite dirty and hard to see through.

What happened to the Dalhousie Dr. speed trap? Haven't seen a cop there in ages. Maybe they were nailing too many buses.

I am sure those covers are clear, I think it's because all of the buses go through the automatic washes and the brushes stop at the middle rear of the bus so all the dirt and grime ends up there, notice sometimes theres a vertical line of dirt and grime on the back of the bus?

clear or not clear....any type of cover = illegal.

Yeah, there is no reason that they should be allowed to get away with this.

No point ticketing city vehicles unless it's an accident. You're just transferring money from one department to another.

exactly because the registered owner is the city so a photo radar ticket would go to them, and this doesnt stop them from getting pulled over in speed traps like you always see in dalhousie so i dont see a problem, like mentioned earlier im sure its for their washers
