Bus Drivers Demand Fare Announce End | Washington DC News

Metro bus drivers are staging a protest against a new fare-announcing rule that union leaders say puts them at risk of assault, after a viral video showed a driver attacked for simply stating the fare. Union president Raymond Jackson is demanding Metro scrap the policy, calling it dangerous and ineffective, while Metro counters by blaming the union for opposing proposed police officers on buses — a claim the union denies. Tensions are high as transit workers feel unsafe, and Metro insists safety measures are being pursued.
