Students to get free ride to polls

Calgary students will be getting a free ride to polling stations by a local man who is inspired by the vote mobs that have been sparked across the country. The Student Vote Bus will be shuttling students from the University of Calgary and Mount Royal University to Elections Canada Special Ballot stations in the city. The bus will run between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm throughout the week. Michael Wilson, who is paying for the bus himself, told Global News that "People have said to me that this is a very expensive thing for you to do, to run these buses, but when you compare it to what people are paying for democracy outside of Canada and throughout the world, this is nothing." Similarly, students in Victoria have organized "shuttle mobs" to drive students to and from polling stations.
