Why Bus Drivers Are Pushing for Bulletproof Glass Partitions

Bus drivers across the country are pushing for plastic partitions to help protect them from violence. However, the grieving mother of a slain bus driver says she wants the partitions to be bulletproof. North Carolina bus driver Ethan Rivera was on his normal route when he was fatally shot in the head by an angry driver in a fit of road rage. His mother is now fighting for bulletproof glass to be installed in all city buses. The Charlotte Area Transit System says it’s committed to everyone’s safety but will continue to use plexiglass partitions, pointing out that no buses in the United States use bulletproof glass.
