It sends a clear message that the system is dangerous. The arguments being made to justify the purchase of the shields is that the system is dangerous to drivers. Obviously they're at increased risk of assault and whatever else because of increased exposure, but there must be some risk to riders, and that won't be lost on anyone riding buses where the shields are present.
Anyway, you understand my argument. I'm not sure if, after weighing the costs, the shields are justifiable. But the decision was not implemented after a sober consideration of the costs and benefits. It was purely emotional, not based in fact.
