Safety upgrades for a fleet of community buses, on which a seat was deemed a serious risk after an elderly woman fell, smashed her head and died in her driveway in 2019, have been delayed by COVID-19 restrictions.
But the ACT government says it is committed to upgrading the safety on a fleet of community buses, on which a seat was deemed a serious risk in a coronial inquest.
A delay to a consultant being able to assess the fleet of buses due to COVID-19 restrictions means the government did not know when necessary upgrades will be made.
