CALGARY — A Calgary transit bus driver is being treated for injuries in hospital after he was attacked on the job.

Police say two people assaulted the driver while he was operating a bus in the city's northeast.

He was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition and later upgraded to stable.

Officers have not located any suspects, and investigators are canvassing the area.

Concerns over transit safety and low ridership last year prompted the city to begin spending $15 million for new transit peace officers.
