A video showing a taxi driving in a bike lane over a Vancouver bridge has gone viral after being posted to social media.
The dash cam video, initially posted to YouTube Friday, appears to show a Bonny’s Taxi driving over the Cambie Street Bridge in a separated bike lane.
The taxi, which appears to be going slower than normal bridge traffic, continues without stopping for as long as the video plays.
The driver and passenger in the recording vehicle appear shocked and wonder what the taxi is going to do when it gets to the south end of the bridge, where the bike lane narrows.
In an email, Bonny’s Taxi general manager Emon Bari said the driver’s driving privileges have been suspended pending a full investigation. Bari said the investigation will begin Monday, and the company will not have any further information until it’s interviewed its driver.
Note: Viewers should note there is some swearing near the end of the video.
