Bus Driving is a Dangerous Job
Every month we hear one story after another of MBTA bus drivers being beaten, spit on and now being stabbed. Years ago transit police officers actually rode buses to protect passengers and drivers. I know that they don't have enough officers but shouldn't they at least have to park their fancy suv's and ride one bus trip during their shift.
thanks to the riders
good to hear the passengers grabbed the man and prevented worse from happening.
Indeed.
The T should offer these passengers free T rides for a year.
Why isn't the public allowed
Why isn't the public allowed to see this jerk and know his name?
Coward
Great job MBTA Police on the arrest. I hope the Bus Operator is ok physically and now mentally I hope that you recover quickly also.
Anyone who assaults a person especially the bus driver sitting in a chair defensively are cowards
