Rome transport staff are to wear
bodycams and use panic buttons amid a wave of attacks by bus
users, officials said Monday.
The relevant protocol was signed by Rome Mayor Roberto
Gualtieri,, Prefect Lamberto Giannini and Lazio Governor
Francesco Rocca as well as the heads of local transport
companies and sector union chiefs.
Assaults on staff in the Italian capital have risen lately.
There has also been a rise in attacks on rail staff nationwide,
and a strike was called last week after a ticket inspector was
stabbed near Genoa.
