The farmers are breaking the law to save a few dollars and have now caused the deaths of their passengers.  Frankly that type of farmer who is willing to put profit head of a life doesn't deserve ANY sympathy from anyone <_<

Yes BC does have limits on # of passengers and the driver is supposed to be licensed for said # of passengers. Class 5 - up to 10, class 4 up to 24, class 3, 2, 1 are up to I believe 72 for some of the buses that are out there.

The problem is enforcement. In the summer there is a lot more enforcement with roadside inspection being done more frequently but like I said there are loopholes that make it possible for these vehicles to be on the road.
