Up to 1,000 bus drivers across Adelaide have gone on strike, affecting at least 70 per cent of the city's bus network.
"Drivers are getting punched or attacked with a weapon around the screens," he said.
"We also need conditions that mean the drivers actually want to do this job. This used to be a sought-after job, it used to be a really valued job and career." "We are very, very concerned that workers are getting a dud deal and we certainly support their call for better conditions, improved safety and improved wages," he said."[The problem] started years ago when we privatised the bus network and we are seeing this with so many essential services in our state.
"Once we have these services back into public hands then we can ensure there are better conditions and better services for customers."Industrial Relations Minister Kyam Maher said the government would be looking into the feasibility of returning buses into public hands.
