Monday morning, NDP MLA, George Heyman urged the provincial government to enact stronger rules for party buses after a passenger died on a party bus in Vancouver on the weekend.

In 2014, Heyman proposed several changes including chaperones for trips involving minors, safety training for operators, that all party bus passengers would receive instructions and sign acknowledgements about legal and safety requirements about not drinking in vehicles, “safe drop-off” provisions to end the practice of dumping sick or distressed passengers, and imposed penalties for advertising of illegal or prohibited activity.

Should regulations be stiffened?
