Bus Drivers Demand Timers at Traffic Cameras After Passenger Injury

Bus drivers in Cyprus held a two-hour work stoppage, protesting the lack of timers on traffic cameras. They are requesting the installation of timers or warning lights before red lights, allowing them to safely stop the buses, which require a longer braking distance due to their size and weight. Drivers report minor passenger injuries due to sudden braking and that 26 drivers have exceeded the 18-point penalty limit. They highlight a lack of political will to resolve the issue, despite discussions that began as early as February 2024. In one incident, a baby fell from its mother's arms due to sudden braking.
