SAFETY * China - Shanghai buses to install anti-terrorist systems
All Shanghai buses will be fitted with surveillance and anti-terrorist systems before the Shanghai World Expo opens in 2010
Shanghai,China -China.org/China Internet Information Center -6 Nov 2008: -- ... Advanced monitors that record all activity on buses will improve security for passengers... The first bus installed with the new equipment will go into service in February next year... Many visitors to the 2008 China International Industry Fair were attracted by a prototype of the bus and a solar-powered electronic bus stop... The anti-terrorism system records real-time videos while buses are in operation. In case of an incident, pressing an alarm button will alert the public transport control center, which can pinpoint the vehicle's location and directly monitor the event... The system will not only increase security, but will also provide police with video evidence that can be used in court... It will cost 30,000 yuan (US$4,400) to refit each of Shanghai's 18,000 buses...
