Anna Geary: ‘Losing a sibling is not talked about a lot. They are meant to be there with you when your parents aren’t’ According to Dublin Bus, over the past five years the number of reported anti-social behaviour incidents on their services has doubled – which it says reflects broader societal trends in the capital.
The Safer Journeys Team will be strategically located in areas identified as priorities based on feedback and data analysis. Their role will complement existing safety measures such as on-board CCTV, driver training and close co-operation with the Garda. Welcoming the introduction of the scheme, secretary general of the National Bus and Rail Union, Dermot O’Leary, and Siptu transport sector organiser John Murphy said every driver has the “right to be safe and protected while at work”.
