VIOLENT ATTACKS AGAINST Transport Board drivers by schoolchildren are increasing.
Lynda Holder, the Transport Board’s manager of marketing and corporate communications, said drivers are dealing with more of these attacks which are putting them at serious risk of injury.

Holder said that as recent as last Thursday, schoolchildren threw rocks through a bus window.
