Union representatives are calling for a “proper protocol” after a Titsa driver was attacked on a bus laid on for a concert in Santa Cruz. They say he was verbally abused and spat at by three individuals during an incident in Candelaria. The Federation of Transport of Inter-Union Canaria has expressed outrage at the “unfortunate” situation suffered by the driver on route 122, Candelaria-Santa Cruz, on the occasion of the concert celebrated in the Plaza de la Patrona. A special service was put on by the company for the musical event. The union claims the buses could not cope with the huge number of people and has criticised safety and lack of forward planning. They say the abused driver called for help but had to wait too long for the police to arrive. By the time they did, the three individuals had escaped with money stolen from the cab. The bus suffered damage and a replacement had to be called in to transfer passengers on board at the time of the incident. Intersindical Canaria wants CCTV cameras put at the disposal of the police and the courts. In addition, it urges Titsa’s management to draw up an effective security protocol to be implemented at public events to prevent anything similar happening again. According to the union, “while this protocol is not completed for the island of Tenerife, the Titsa staff will not work in any event in the interests of the health and safety of the workers of the company and the provision of a better quality public service to citizens.”
