Six people who refused to leave a Saskatchewan Transportation Company bus in Saskatoon on Wednesday were arrested and later released by police. The riders were on the final STC bus arriving to Saskatoon from Regina Wednesday night, capping off weeks of protests over the Saskatchewan government's decision to shutter the decades-old bus line. Wednesday night's show of protest began when a large gathering of people assembled at the Robin's doughnut shop inside the Saskatoon STC terminal to sing songs, including a new spin on the famous Woody Guthrie ballad This Land Is Your Land. "This bus is our bus" sing people rallied against STC closure at donut shop at #yxe bus depot.
