The National Transport Workers' Union is responding to a growing trend of abuse directed towards bus drivers. Reports indicate an increase in verbal abuse, physical assaults, and online harassment targeting drivers while they perform their duties. In response, the union is actively investigating expanded mental health and counselling services for its members. These services aim to provide support for the psychological impact of these incidents. The union recognizes the detrimental effects of ongoing abuse on drivers’ well-being and seeks to mitigate the harm. Details on the specific expansion of support programs are forthcoming as the union assesses the needs of its members and available resources. This initiative highlights a concerning rise in hostility towards public transport workers.
