bus driver beaten----polygamist added to most wanted list

a bus driver was beaten until he became unconscious in a dispute over fifty cents in the vancouver suburb of coquitlam. two teenagers pulled the driver from his seat then punched, kicked, and even bit him until he fell unconscious. the two teens did this after the driver asked a third teen to get off the bus because he was fifty cents short on his fare. the police are still looking for those responsible in the attack. the bus company that that the driver works for is now planning to put cameras on all their buses, but the union representing the company's employees say cameras are only a part of the solution. as a bus driver myself i am aware of the dangers that exist to drivers and passengers alike. only a few weeks ago a man was arrested in the regina STC terminal after a greyhound driver smelled pot on him. a search revealed a large amount of marijuana and a nine millimeter pellet hand gun. i can hear some of you saying "a pellet gun, woopty doo." but even a pellet gun could cause serious injury to a person at close range, and the truth is that drivers have no idea what else people might be carrying on their bus. i have heard several other scary stories involving drivers and passengers being threatened by people travelling on the bus, thankfully nothing has happened to me (knock on wood).
