STC mounts up losses

It's opening day for Regina's $26.2 million bus depot, all paid for by provincial taxpayers. It was built for Saskatchewan Transportation Corporation, a corporation that has taken $70 million from Saskatchewan taxpayers since 1999. Only 35 percent of freight and passengers go through Regina, so disregard any suggestion that this expensive 70,000 square foot building, complete with a 20,000 foot garage that has indoor bays for busses, electronic sensors to open and close doors, 38 security cameras, etc., etc., will rebalance STC.
