Here’s a recent Japanese news report about violence on Korean buses:

A brief summary: A few days ago a man got onto a bus in South Korea and sat behind the driver. He started rummaging through his bag and commented that his money was missing. He proceeded to accuse the bus driver, and kicked and punched the driver. At the end of the clip, footage of similar attacks on bus drivers is shown and it is noted that some Korean buses are now putting protective glass barriers around the driver’s seat to prevent future occurances of this problem.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a Japanese news report about the topic of Korean bus violence. Perhaps this is some form of anti-Korean bias in the media, or maybe this is actually a big problem in Korea? The addition of protective barriers on buses seems to suggest that the latter might be true.

Update: The Party Pooper has posted links to other videos of violence on Korean buses.
