Minister assigns Kings Cross security but more needed

Minister for Transport, Gladys Berejiklian has responded to the RTBU’s demands for increased security on bus services, by committing to security on new all night services from Kings Cross.

The RTBU wrote to the Minister following a number of assaults on bus drivers, requesting increased security on buses, particularly at night.

While the letter outlines a number of security initiatives for transport, it still does not provide the widespread coverage that is needed to keep bus drivers safe from ongoing problems with violence and abuse.

The RTBU will continue to advocate for the safe working environment our drivers deserve.
