I signed this petition because I fully support this mother's plea for the physical and psychological harm her child has suffered. I empathize deeply with her pain and worry about my own family and children potentially facing similar issues when taking public transportation in the future.

Dangerous weapons should be prohibited brings on the public transport, as it threaten all passenger’s safety. The government should not ignore this issue, punishing criminal individual is crucial for our security of society.

After covid, I didn't feel Auckland is safety city any more, even during day time, theft, robbed,supermarket, the bus station or on the bus random attack, robbery occurred frequently
If government still let this situation on, how can get tourist and international student coming?How does the economy develop？

I think that public transport should not allow passengers to bring dangerous weapons.

I’ve signed but it’s not showing for some reason so here it is again:

To begin with, people (certain people) taking free rides are getting out of hands. AT or the government needs to stop this sort of behaviour to treat everyone equal. Why do honest people need to pay while some “entitled” others can take advantage of our public transport? Because AT/the government allows? Because these people have privilege?

Secondly, the drivers behaviour does need explanations. Did he open the door out of fear for himself and the rest of the passengers? He did it according to AT/Howick & Eastern Bus procedures? What’s his reasons for not calling the police or the ambulance in the first instance? Isn’t this common sense for situations like this? Did he have the necessary trainings? What was he thinking wiping the blood off the floor?? It’s unbelievable!

Last but not the least, maybe it is time to look at introducing rules around taking items that can obviously be used as weapons onto the bus. Not saying it shouldn’t be allowed but maybe kept at the front and only to retrieve when the owner gets off the bus. It’s not easy but it’s a start.
