A 29-year-old Brisbane City Council bus driver has been killed after a passenger allegedly doused him with a flammable liquid and set him alight.

Yes.

Yes.

Frightening.
Is it possible to install something to protect the drivers from the passengers?

That has been an issue for years.

Is your Union doing enough to solve this problem?

RTBU and TWU joined forces last month. Fighting with State Govt "Translink" to get proper protection.

Looks like not:

A CRASH between a bus and a truck is expected to close Waterford Tamborine Road at Yarrabilba for several hours.

Paramedics were called to the crash about 9.15am and have so far treated three patients.
