More safety measures are on its way to the transit system in B.C. as driver doors will be getting installed in buses across the province.
Trail and Nelson will be installing a transparent piece of laminated tempered glass to the right of the drivers, designed to increase protection. The glass piece has an anti-glare coating and a metal base, making it an adjustable door to account for different seat positions.
This new safety protocol is announced just one day after masks became mandatory for all riders on BC Transit.
