On Wednesday night, armed criminals attacked public transportation in the Cidade Ademar neighborhood of São Paulo, setting two buses ablaze around 8 PM. The attackers ordered passengers and staff to exit before igniting the fires on the Avenida Yervant Kissajikian. This incident is the second attack on buses in the city this week, worsening security concerns in the area.
Additionally, a third bus was reported to have been damaged with rocks on Rua Delfino Facchina, located in the same region. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among passengers or staff during these attacks. The series of violent acts against public transport raises alarms about the safety of commuting in São Paulo, particularly in neighborhoods like Cidade Ademar and Jardim São Luís.
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday night, another incident involving a group of about 20 masked and armed men resulted in a burning bus on Avenida Guarapiranga in the Jardim São Luís neighborhood, emphasizing the growing trend of violence targeting public transit systems in the city. Local authorities are now faced with the challenge of enhancing security measures to protect both citizens and public transport services from criminal activities.
