‘Just driving a bus:’ Winnipeg driver dies after attack, passenger under arrest
WINNIPEG — A transit driver who died after he was stabbed at the last stop of his regular night shift is being described as a popular, friendly man who planned to retire next year.
Irvine Fraser, who went by his middle name, Jubal, was 58 and had been on the job in Winnipeg since 1995 with the exception of a few years, said John Callahan, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1505.
He said Fraser was a regular guy who worked hard to provide for his family.
“It’s just surreal to think that you can lose your life … just driving a bus,” Callahan said.
