Safety for MBTA Employees

This Petition is to build safe guards for the MBTA Drivers who are visible to the public day-to-day. The MBTA cannot expect drivers to collect fares or throw people off the bus for lack thereof and expect issues like the one that arose with the Veteran driver having a huge cup of liquid thrown in her face for doing her job. The MBTA needs a better safe guard for their employees or else not expect the drivers to collect the fare. The public is very hard to deal with and drivers get no mercy at all. If no safe guards are going to be put into place, then a transit police should be issued to each route for the employee’s safety when dealing with unruly and violet passengers.
