Brussels (Eurotoday): Bus inspectors in Rocourt, Liège, were attacked with a knife. The ACV union asked Ministers Lydia Peters and Annelies Verlinden for better safety and quicker police response. They want a second person on buses at night for added security.
The ACV union is concerned after bus inspectors in Rocourt, near Liège, were attacked while checking tickets. They were threatened with a knife, which put them in a dangerous spot. Their communication system failed, so they couldn’t call for help quickly. Even after the incident, the police in Liège didn’t respond. The union is now calling for immediate action to improve safety and communication for public service workers.
How will Belgium’s ministers ensure the safety of bus inspectors after recent attacks?
After the recent blank” rel=”noopener”>attack on bus inspectors, the ACV union wrote to two government ministers asking for help. They want Minister Lydia Peeters to explain how she will keep bus drivers and inspectors safe, especially in dangerous situations, and to fix communication problems that happened during the attack. They also reached out to Minister Annelies Verlinden with a request to guarantee that the police respond quickly to any emergency calls from public workers. The union claimed that there is a need to improve teamwork between public transport and police to protect workers from greater risks on the job.
The union wants a second person on every bus, especially at night and in tough areas, to help keep everyone safe. They also said the attack happened in an old bus without a closed driver’s area or cameras, which was marked as no longer safe to use.

Oh, brilliant! Nothing screams “public service” like sending inspectors into the wild with nothing but a ticket punch and a prayer. Maybe next they’ll ask for a knight in shining armor and a magic wand to deal with the really tough tickets! 😂

Oh, brilliant! Nothing like a late-night bus ride in Liège to really spice up the ticket-checking gig—who needs a safety net when you’ve got a trusty knife, right? 🧐✌️ Let’s just hope the ministers bring more than just a cup of coffee to this knife fight!

Oh, splendid! Nothing says “public safety” like a knife fight over a bus ticket. Maybe next they’ll suggest a friendly duel with baguettes instead of proper safety reforms. 🤷♂️🥖
