Passenger feedback on bus safety

People queuing for a bus Passengers are being asked to suggest ways to improve security measures to help reduce crime on London's buses.

The public feedback is a part of the London Assembly's investigation to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.

The inquiry will look into whether measures taken by Transport for London (TfL), such as CCTV cameras on buses, make passengers feel safe.

It will also see what other measures, staffing and technology could improve the journey for travellers.

Passengers are also being asked to recount incidents of crime and anti-social behaviour they witnessed.

Roger Evans, chairman of London Assembly's Transport Committee, said: "Crime and disorder on the capital's buses has recently become a high profile issue, but it is a complex subject.

"We regularly hear that the daily experience of travelling on a bus is not as good as it should be for a world-class city, but we need to hear from Londoners so we can identify how to make things better."

The committee will make recommendations to TfL and Metropolitan Police on improving security.

Passengers can send an email to bussafety@london.gov.uk
