At the end of 2017, the RTBU and Metro Tasmania ran a joint campaign to promote greater respect for bus drivers .This campaign involved a media conference and the distribution of posters in buses across the State.

The campaign was intended as a first step in building public awareness, and in building a stringer relationship between bus drivers and Metro Tasmania on safety-related issues.  The RTBU will continue to work with Metro to find ways to improve safety for both drivers and passengers over the coming months.
