The court dismissed a negligence claim against the TTC, finding the bus driver met the standard of care when a passenger slipped on a wet floor.
The plaintiff sued the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) for negligence after falling on a bus with a wet floor.
The court examined the bus driver's standard of care, considering the TTC's operator manual and the prevailing weather conditions.
The court found that the driver operated the bus reasonably and prudently, and the plaintiff's fall was not reasonably foreseeable.
Consequently, the action for negligence was dismissed.
The court also made hypothetical findings on causation and contributory negligence, determining that if negligence had been found, the plaintiff would have been 75% contributorily negligent.
