	INQUIRY REGARDING BC TRANSIT RECORDS
		BC Transit argues that the harm that would result from disclosure of the four figures in dispute is "interference with its competitive bidding process" and says that, if that process were compromised, a number of specific harms would follow.
		BC Transit argues that if the amount of the successful bid is made public, it will become nearly impossible for the "winner" of the bid to remain competitive.
		BC Transit submits that disclosure of the fixed monthly cost figure in Schedule "C" of the Wells Grey Agreement could reasonably be expected to cause significant harm to the competitive position of Wells Grey in the next Request for Proposal.

	INQUIRY REGARDING BC TRANSIT RECORDS
		BC Transit noted in its response letter to the applicant that some of the records contained information that was severed from them.
		BC Transit argued that this provision has been the subject of previous orders of the Commissioner and noted that the word "decision" was interpreted in Order No. 191-1997 (pages 3 and 4 of the public body's reply submission).
		BC Transit's position was that correspondence between the solicitors for the trust and a management appointee, which relates to a BC Transit employee and is filed with the employee's records, is the proper subject of solicitor client privilege.

	BC Transit v Classics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Dave Moore was floored in a cynical challenge from a Transit player, called Dennis, when he was sent sprawling after an elbow into the rib cage.

	SENSE - Case Law: R. v. BC Transit
		THE COURT: (Oral) Well, this is a case where B.C. Transit is charged that as owner of a motor vehicle, specifically a bus, committed an offence contrary to section 151(7), now section 146(7) of the Motor Vehicle Act.
		Due to B.C. Transit Victoria's vindictive and heavy-handed approach to all employees that have been charged with a traffic violation for speeding, the company has said by way of a bulletin that any employee that has been charged will on the first offence be suspended, and on a second offence the employee will be dismissed.
		Now, I take it from that that the union, at least, was aware that the management was doing virtually everything within its power, short of putting inspectors on every bus, to ensure that their drivers did not speed.

	Richmond Pioneers Soccer
		The Richmond Pioneers travelled to South Surrey to face BC Transit and despite creating enough chances to win the game comfortably, the Pioneers got mugged by two second half goals for a shock 2-1 loss.
		BC Transit had their share of possession and looked threatening on occasions, forcing Gary Byrne to make a nice save to keep it scoreless at the half.
		And just when a sense of foreboding started to play on the minds of the Pioneers, Transit grabbed a shock opening goal totally against the run of play, with a powerful header from a cross from the right wing.
