Transit Police say there’s been another attack on a Lower Mainland bus driver.

Police say that at around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, a bus driver in North Vancouver made an announcement about the bus being a “fare paid zone,” and was hit in the face by a passenger wielding a paper bag.

The driver was not injured but was shaken up.

The incident has been turned over to the North Vancouver RCMP.

The incident comes on the same day that dozens of bus drivers turned out to a court hearing in Surrey for a man accused of punching a bus driver in the face. In that incident, the driver suffered broken bones in his face, a broken nose, vision impairment in one eye and damaged teeth.
