Met Council Votes To Approve Protective Barriers For Bus Drivers
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Metropolitan Council voted Wednesday in favor of a $1 million package to provide barriers for about two-thirds of the fleet.
Soon, drivers will have a Plexiglas enclosure around them for an extra layer of security. It will take about a year-and-a-half to complete the process of installing them.
The vote to approve the barriers came following calls for improved safety in the wake of several violent attacks on bus drivers.
