Bus operator describes assault, urges riders to 'say something'

A bus operator who identified themselves as working out of the Charlestown and Cabot garages said they were assaulted and urged riders to report suspicious behavior.

"It's always hard when you're assaulted and you don't know why," the bus operator said, describing the emotional impact of an assault on the job. The speaker identified their workplace as the Charlestown Garage and also as out of the Cabot Garage.

"Just like you rely on me to get you where you need to go, I rely on you," the bus operator said, and added, "If you see something, say something." The statement focused on operator safety and appealed for public vigilance on routes serving the named garages.

The speaker did not provide details about when the assault occurred, whether an assailant was identified, or whether a police report was filed. No formal action or motion was recorded in the transcript.
