Summary

Regina Mayor Chad Bachynski said that due to timing, there will be no shuttle service for Tuesday's Foo Fighters concert at Mosaic Stadium. This decision was made because 4 p.m., when doors open, is too close to the end of the workday for the city to offer shuttles without disrupting regular transit riders' trips home. The concert is almost sold out, with a few last-minute tickets still available. Bachynski and the REAL District are advising concertgoers to plan ahead for getting to and from the venue.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
