Brisbane bus drivers have received extra training for dealing with aggressive and intoxicated passengers.

 

The training followed recommendations in reports into bus driver safety, following the death of a bus driver who was killed in an attack while driving a bus at Moorooka in 2016.

 

Thousands of Brisbane bus drivers received situational awareness and de escalation training, which is now approaching a one hundred percent completion rate.

 

A council officer said it was too soon to see if the training decreased the number of incidents on buses.
