It is time for the government to get tough – really tough. Attacks on buses or at bus stops are becoming all too frequent, particularly in Auckland. There have been incidents reported on buses across the city. On Wednesday afternoon on a bus in Onehunga an attack occurred that proved fatal. The victim was not known to the attacker, who sat beside her on the bus. Other incidents have occurred in Tauranga and Rotorua, and Dunedin now has permanent security guards at the central bus station. This situation cannot be allowed to continue. Action is needed.
