Brisbane bus drivers are undergoing training to ensure their personal safety and that of passengers against aggressive and intoxicated passengers.
Public and active transport chairman, Adrian Schrinner, says buses to be delivered in the 2018-2019 financial year will also be fitted with driver protection barriers.
The training follows recommendations from the Brisbane City Council’s Ausafe report and state government’s Deloitte Report in response to the death of bus driver, Manmeet Sharma, at Moorooka in 2016.
