Bus driver robbed at knifepoint near Nancy, prompting work stoppage

A bus driver for the Stan network was attacked with a knife and robbed near Nancy, France, on Thursday, leading to a work stoppage by colleagues that continued into Friday. The driver was on break at a terminus in Villers-lès-Nancy when two masked individuals armed with a knife demanded the bus's cash box, escaping with over 100 euros. Approximately 80% of drivers stopped work on Friday, demanding better security measures, including an end to onboard ticket sales. Keolis Grand Nancy has suspended onboard ticket sales until Monday and will hold an emergency meeting. The company is also considering installing surveillance cameras at termini and hiring private security, though the attackers have not yet been apprehended.
