* New Zealand - Buses under fire
New Zealand -The New Zealand Herald, by Jared Savage - November 11, 2007: -- Dangerous driving, assaults on motorists and ordering children off a schoolbus are among complaints laid against bus drivers - yet a recent report found buses were the safest way to travel in New Zealand... More than half of complaints about bus drivers were laid about unsafe driving or speeding, according to Land Transport New Zealand figures, and drivers who were sacked for rude behaviour towards passengers... But complaints about speeding or dangerous driving were dealt with by warnings or "advice" from LTNZ... Complaints made directly to bus companies about poor service were kept secret from the public... That could change under new legislation, tabled in Parliament last month. It is designed to give local councils more power over commercial bus operators to make them meet quality and performance criteria - and make public transport safer...Labels: complains public transport
