Violent attacks on public transit have reached 'crisis levels,' the president of a major Canadian transit union said Wednesday, as he called for a national transit safety task force.

"These attacks, not only at the but right across the country, are really at a crisis level," Di Nino said in an interview Wednesday. The call for a task force comes after a number of violent attacks targeting workers and riders on the Toronto Transit Commission. Transit agencies need to be transparent about the extent of the safety issue, Di Nino said, calling for transparent reporting of violent incidents.
"If there is a role for the federal government to step up, we will no doubt step up," he said. "It's something we are happy to partner with provinces and municipalities on." In addition to the cases in Toronto, Di Nino also pointed to recent reports in Edmonton of bus drivers threatened at gunpoint.
