Driver Entitled to Operate Bus that Didn’t Aggravate His Neck Condition

A bus driver had a neck condition that was aggravated when he drove a Nova bus but was fine when he drove a New Flyer. His request to be assigned to only New Flyers as an accommodation was denied. The Human Rights Tribunal ruled that the company had discriminated against the driver by refusing medical information on his condition, denying he had a disability and refusing to accommodate him [Holt v. Coast Mountain Bus Company, [2012] BCHRT 28 (CanLII), Feb. 15, 2012].
