Driver-protection barriers will start being installed on Brisbane buses from July 1.

The installation of the barriers was a finding of the Bus Driver Safety Review that the state government ordered in September 2015.

One month after the review was ordered Manmeet Sharma died during an unprovoked attack while he was behind the wheel of a Brisbane City Council bus.

In May 2017 the council released its own independent review, completed by Aussafe Consulting, into the death of Mr Sharma, which found a driver barrier could be helpful depending on the nature of the incident.
