At a stop near the courthouse in Kortrijk, a De Lijn bus driver forgot to stop during rush hour this morning. A traveler, possibly between the ages of 17 and 18, then became aggressive and punched the driver in the face. The driver was taken to hospital with injuries, where he received ten stitches. He’s out of action for a while. Due to the event, the staff at the Kortrijk and Geluwe depots decided to strike for the rest of the day.
