Transit workers represented by ATU Local 689 passed a resolution yesterday calling on WMATA to fix bus operator workstations "and end the preventable accidents and driver injuries that plague Metro," said the union. “Vicious attacks on bus operators, dangerous driver blind spots, unsafe air quality, ergonomically poor seating, and primitive steering and controls are endangering bus drivers, riders and everyone else on our streets,” said Jackie Jeter, president of Local 689. “There are buses being used in Europe that address all these problems. It’s time for WMATA, bus manufacturers, and elected officials to adopt these well-established solutions and make our buses safe for everyone.”
