Kingston residents were treated to an unusual site as they went about their day. Standing along Princess St. residents reported seeing a Kingston Transit non-express bus pass an Express bus. Local resident Blake Roundandround vividly remembers seeing the clearly marked Express bus as it was overtaken by the non-Express bus.
Onlookers gaped, pointed, and commented to each other in amusement. Kingston Transit has not commented on the issue and has not given any indication on whether or not they are investigating this phenomenon further. However, thanks to the keen investigating of Wig journalists, we have been able to determine the cause.
The Wig has been able to determine that there are a number of eyewitnesses who were able to independently verify the account. Said eyewitnesses included passengers on both buses, pedestrians, in the area, people in businesses in the area, and a few drivers who were in the vicinity as well.
After extensive interviews and research using publicly available data, the Wig has been able to determine that the reason the non-Express bus was passed was because the Express bus was currently stopped at a bus stop, allowing residents to enter and exit the bus.
In addition to this investigation, The Wig has learned from residents that this may be more than a unique incident. In fact, it's possibly this may be quite a common occurrence. However, The Wig's initial investigation has been unable to find sufficient data regarding the frequency of these events or whether or not they have a common cause.
