I suppose the strategy is to deter people from yelling because IT IS KNOWN that yelling at the driver will get everyone thrown off. But as a tactic it’s bad, because the driver is more likely to face aggression and possibly assault in the moment if he does that.

@Blork – The problem is… https://www.cnesst.gouv.qc.ca/en/prevention-and-safety/healthy-workplace/harassment-workplace Bus drivers facing verbal abuse may be entitled to legal protection orders barring riders from buses. (Problem being that they would need to file a police complaint and have the name and ID of the rider, which may not be that difficult to find out, being that we all tap in to the bus) My past job wrestled with this, as it meant barring someone from the building entirely.

I was in Marseille years ago and the day I arrived, there were signs saying the tram drivers were on strike for the day due to “aggression”. I asked someone about it and apparently every time someone attacks an operator, they all immediately walk off the job for 24 hours. The person I spoke to said the strikes happen multiple times a year but the amount of aggression had gone down.
