The attack on 58-year-old Keith Rollinson has raised alarms over increasing violence against bus drivers, emphasizing the urgent need for safety measures in public transport.
A survey by Unite revealed that over 90% of the bus drivers experienced verbal or physical abuse, marking historic levels of violence in the profession.
An anonymous driver highlighted the growing dangers, stating, 'You don't know who is getting on your bus or what their attitude is, and you're left to deal with it alone.'
The introduction of free bus travel for under-22s has contributed to a rise in incidents, with bus stations becoming unofficial meeting points for unruly behavior.
