How is the Welsh Government working with bus companies and Transport for Wales on addressing anti-social behaviour on public transport?
The Welsh Government works closely with Transport for Wales, bus operators, local authorities and the British Transport Police to address anti-social behaviour on public transport and to support the safety of passengers and frontline staff.
We recognise that anti-social behaviour continues to be a concern for passengers and transport staff in some areas, and there is no single solution. Through investment in public transport infrastructure and fleet renewal, we are seeking to improve safety and reduce opportunities for anti-social behaviour. Transport for Wales is also undertaking research with passengers and operational staff to improve understanding of the causes of incidents and to identify potential mitigating measures.
Operationally, partners continue to work together to prevent incidents and respond appropriately when they occur. Measures already in place include body-worn cameras for frontline rail staff and the continued use and improvement of CCTV across the transport network, which help support enforcement activity and provide reassurance to passengers and staff.
