Bus Driver Assault Sparks Safety Debate | Annapolis News
Description
A masked rider brutally attacked a Metro bus driver on August 1st, punching them through a partial shield — a shocking moment captured on video and released by the union to demand urgent safety reforms. Despite Metro’s $17 million investment in upgrading shields, only 450 of 1,000 buses are fully enclosed, with many still vulnerable to assault. The union argues that 85% coverage isn’t enough, calling for faster action as drivers face daily danger — and asking whether the agency’s timeline will truly protect its operators before next May.
