Windsor council votes to keep the tunnel bus and double fares to $ 20 each way.

Mayor Drew Dilkens may use his first -ever mayoral veto to terminate public transit to and from Detroit .

Dilkens has 10 days to veto any of council’s budget amendments.

Council can override a mayoral veto with a minimum 8 -vote vote.

The tunnel bus broke even before changes to the Canada Labour Code enacted in late 2022 granted all federally regulated employees 10 days of paid medical leave per year on top of existing benefits.

Gignac said federally legislated sick days have “just been the nail in the coffin” MP Irek Kusmierczyk has expressed support for the tunnel bus.
