An increased Transit Police presence will be watching over the Skytrain line during the first morning commute since an explosive was found on Surrey tracks Friday.
Transit Police Spokesperson Anne Drennan says the extra uniformed presence will carry on through the week as the investigation continues.
“As well, there will be continued site sweeps, into the week.”
Drennan says the increased police presence isn’t expected to slow down those going to work, adding it might actually increase efficiency.
Many transit riders are confident their commute won’t be held up this week.
Most don’t seem to be all that scared by last week’s bomb scare.
“Hopefully it won’t happen again. It shows that they are kind of keeping an eye on things and able to keep the Skytrain safe. This is my only way to commute so it is what it is. We pay people to take care of us and look after us and make sure we’re safe and I know these people are confident and I trust they are doing their jobs.”
Transit Police continue to receive tips as they investigate the explosive device found Friday, but there are no suspects at this point.
