Safety measures expected to protect bus drivers

Chinese cities are stepping up their efforts to keep bus drivers safe from violently angry passengers after a tragic bus crash on Oct 28 caused by a woman who attacked the driver. Thirteen people died, and two remain missing.

Keeping passengers separated from the driver's cabin is the most commonly suggested option for improving safety.

Chongqing, where the accident happened, has announced that independent driver's cabins will be set up inside buses, and safety partitions in the form of nets or bars will be installed.
