CPBO Posted November 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2009 NYC Transit will soon start installing partitions separating drivers from passengers, nearly a year after a bus driver was stabbed to death, officials said. One hundred buses will get the L-shaped barriers in a pilot program in Brooklyn to see how they hold up, agency spokesman Charles Seaton said. If it's successful, the agency will outfit hundreds of other buses with the protective see-through shields, Seaton said.

MattTrain Posted November 14, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 14, 2009 Bus operators' new shields. My message to those who assault a bus operator: Assaulting a bus operator is a felony and you'll be subjected to seven years in prison. I think Bus should get this protection too, as well as Long Island Bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they do is drive the damn bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted November 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted November 14, 2009 Personally I think any serious attack of any civil service employee such as cops, firefighters, transit workers, sanitation, etc. while they are on the job should automatically be life in prison with the option to voluntarily take the death penalty instead at any time during the sentence.

Only if that worker dies in the attack, should that be the offender's punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that should be the case with every crime from battery on up. There is absolutely no excuse why it's necessary to harm someone who is providing the public a service while they are at work.
