Driver killed last winter: City of Winnipeg testing shields for city buses
WINNIPEG — Driver safety shields are being added to six transit buses in Winnipeg to see how the barriers work.
The city says the pilot project will last at least six months so drivers have time to provide feedback on which of two shield designs is the best.
Several security changes were announced in the city’s 2018 budget after a transit driver was attacked by a passenger last February.
Irvine Jubal Fraser, who was 58, died after he was stabbed multiple times.
