Drivers in the face coughing
Public transport companies have suffered more from black driving and aggression since they changed their services due to the corona crisis.
Demonstrative black driving, bus and tram drivers deliberately spitting in the face and coughing and scolding against inspectors who say something about misconduct: public transport staff have been confronted with provocative behaviour by travelers across the country since last week. The Amsterdam City Council formally reported to the City Council on Tuesday that both undeclared driving and the number of violent incidents are increasing. It is a national phenomenon that affects all public transport companies, according to chairman Pedro Peters of OV-NL. This is the branch organisation to which all nine city and regional carriers and NS are affiliated.

Passengers who are openly blackened, not just young,also people neatly in the suit,says Peters. But then the atmosphere hardened, especially when the schools closed. Young people who were in buses that were only allowed to get in the back, were openly coughing around. Drivers who said something about it and were threatened. Dashed aprias, especially in local transport, and then also buses that were crushed with stones.



How sick is the Netherlands!
