Just last week, a 17-year-old boy was fatally stabbed aboard a Surrey transit bus.

Transit police have upped their presence in “high-traffic transit hubs” in an attempt to curb the violence.

On Friday, TransLink’s CEO held a press conference to speak about the rise in incidents happening around the Lower Mainland.

CEO Kevin Quinn said he “will not stand” for the recent surge in violent attacks on buses and SkyTrains in Metro Vancouver, vowing Friday to take action with police and government.

“I’m angry. We’re really angry. We’re very frustrated,” he said. “The fact is that we will not stand for these types of incidents on our system.

“We will not allow criminals or those who want to commit crimes to come onto our system. This is our system.”

A gruesome fight is also said to have broken out between two West Vancouver bus passengers on Wednesday afternoon, according to ATU Local 134, which represents the city’s bus drivers.
