Faced with the growing threat of bus drivers boycotting routes in Brisbane, the Queensland government has vowed to spend $60.7 million over the next five years to improve public transport safety.
The move has come after the Rail Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) began urging bus drivers to boycott bus routes to Inala and Forest Lake after dark from Thursdays to Sundays, over concerns about the risk to the Brisbane City Council employees.
