Safety of bus drivers called into question

By: Natasha Burling | Latest Wellington News | Monday May 7 2012 19:58

 

The death of bus driver Herman Curry has prompted debate on how safety can be improved for drivers.

A funeral for Mr Curry was held in Wellington today.

He died just over a week ago from a pre-existing medical condition, at the Waterloo Interchange in Lower Hutt.

Two men were charged with the theft of his cash box and two teenagers were referred to Youth Aid.

Bus & Coach Association chief executive Raewyn Bleakley says the incident has sparked conversations within the industry on how safety and security can be managed.

She says a forum is being organised with the aim of identifying best practice and implementing measures to create a safe environment for bus drivers and customers.
