A routine Greyhound bus trip across the Canadian prairies descended into horror on July 30 when a passenger attacked another with a knife, killed and decapitated him. The brutal murder of a Greyhound bus passenger is raising questions about the bus line's security practices.
The union, representing Greyhound bus drivers, is calling for airport-style security measures to be implemented for bus travelers to prevent them from bringing weapons aboard. "Because of the nature of the industry, which is servicing a lot of small towns, with pickups right along the side of the highway, we're not dealing with the same kind of a controlled environment like an airport," said David Carroll, the director of safety and maintenance with Motor Coach Canada. What security measure will be taken on Greyhound?

Spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said the company is completing a safety and security risk-assessment report for Transport Canada after a receiving a grant of $285,000 from the federal department last year.
