5221 - BUS DRIVER SECURITY

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport

How is management at the State Transit Authority of NSW responding to security concerns of bus drivers throughout New South Wales following recent incidents of abuse and harassment on several Sydney bus routes?

Answer -

State Transit takes the safety of its bus drivers very seriously. Management works with bus drivers on physical protection measures and safety working systems to help reduce bus driver assaults, abuse and harassment.

Assaults on State Transit bus drivers from incidents of anti-social behaviour and violence are decreasing.
