  "account": "A new bylaw in Saskatoon aims to promote a safer, cleaner, and more welcoming transit system. The bylaw, passed by city council in July, went into effect on Tuesday. It supports the transit experience that riders already expect, according to the city's transit authority. The bylaw is based on the city's Transit Code, which expects passengers and employees to respect others, pay fares, keep vehicles and terminals clean, avoid smoking, drinking alcohol or using drugs on transit property, and report safety concerns. Enforcement will focus on education, awareness, and compliance, with enforcement tools available when necessary. Riders may be asked to show proof of fare payment as part of the enforcement process.",
  "summary": "The bylaw, passed by city council at the end of July, 'supports the experience you already expect on Saskatoon Transit,' the city said.",
