Crime on Buses * UK - CCTV, more police but those gets worse
Report: Crime on London's buses is worse than two years ago despite Ken Livingstone's efforts to crack down on anti-social behaviour
London,UK -This is London, by Pippa Crerar -11 Jan 2008: -- ... The London Assembly's transport committee said passengers felt less safe on buses than on any other form of public transport... There was a 15 per cent increase in the number of all crimes on buses since 2004 with teenage anti-social behaviour of particular concern. However, crimes per journey actually fell - one per 50,000 - because more people used the buses, meaning passengers were less likely to become victims... The Mayor has tried to address the problem by requiring children eligible-for free travel to swipe passes on buses and show the driver photocards... Transport for London has also increased the uniformed presence on buses and is using more technology to prevent and solve crime... Tory Mayoral candidate Boris Johnson said that his proposal for the introduction of a £150,000 CCTV system should now go ahead, despite Tfl pulling the plug on the pilot system...
