Hundreds gathered Friday at a memorial service in Seattle to mourn Yim and call for better protections for bus drivers.

King County Metro driver Shawn Yim was remembered as a beloved husband, uncle, and servant to the city. Yim was known by his fellow bus drivers for going above and beyond for his passengers, especially children and the elderly.

King County Metro, community members and transit agencies will gather Jan. 10 to remember Shawn Yim, a bus driver tragically killed in December while on duty.
