There’s relief from the bus drivers union as the Government announces new measures to improve workplace safety.

It includes new aggravating factors in sentencing for attacks on transport workers and a $15 million injection into safety precautions.

Tramways Union President Gary Froggatt told Ryan Bridge that it’s another weapon in the armoury defending against this type of crime.

He said it will make some passengers think again before assaulting a bus driver, however it’s not going to be a solution on its own, and the sooner things like safety screens can be installed, the better.
