REGINA Regina City Council voted unanimously in favour of installing plexiglass shields in all city buses as an added layer of protection for drivers. Buses currently have vinyl sheets installed to protect drivers from COVID-19. The plexiglass is expected to also protect drivers from other risks that come with the job and will stay after the pandemic is over. The change will be made under the Canada Infrastructure program and will cost a total of $2.57 million dollars. The city will have to pay $686,505 with the rest coming from the provincial and federal government. Kevin Lucier, the president of the local Amalgamated Transit Union, said in the past year there were four incidents that would have been avoided if the plexiglass was in place, including one sexual assault and one physical assault.
