Officials with Local 134 say the attack is another strong warning that better safety measures are needed on the Blue Bus system
“Even in West Vancouver our drivers and passengers need more safety measures to try and reduce the chance of violence on our buses or at bus loops and stations,” Cornel Neagu, president of Local 134, said in the statement.
He also wants to see more action from the provincial and federal governments to address the growing mental health and addictions crisis. “Our drivers see a continually escalating problem with riders who have serious drug, alcohol and mental health problems and who depend on our buses for transportation,” said Neagu.
