Halifax buses back on roads [Video]

Dozens of Halifax Transit buses are back in service after a wheel came off one on Thursday.

Halifax Transit investigated the bus and learned faulty equipment used to torque the wheels was the cause, according to a news release from the Halifax Regional Municipality.

Forty-three buses, including Access-A-Bus, were taken out of service “out of an abundance of caution.” Mechanics re-toqued the wheels on-site.

On Thursday evening, the municipality announced all buses were back on the road after they were cleared to resume service.
