Some of the city's bus shelters are now filled with as many as a dozen people, many unmasked, some using hard drugs and drinking. CBC News has seen bus shelters cleaned out on Portage Avenue and Main Street in recent days. Used and unused syringes suggest the city's bus shelters have become unofficial drug consumption sites. If the bus shelters were private residences or backyards or hockey rinks, the official response might have been a ticket. Some are finding it in the bus shacks that have, at least for the time being, become de facto shelters.
