Surinder Rai, who has been a TTC driver for five years, says being assaulted is nothing new. "I was spat on on the Jane Street [bus]. I simply asked him to pay the proper fare and he spat on me and ran away."

"We're averaging about one incident a day," said TTC chair Howard Moscoe. "It ranges all the way from someone yelling at a driver, to someone shooting a driver at the other extreme end of it."
The transit authority is trying to put an end to violence on its vehicles. A pilot project is underway on one bus route that might make it safer to ride the TTC.
