'If we have issues on our services, it affects the whole community'
Translink has stressed that it will seek to prosecute when appropriate after a spike in anti-social behaviour on public transport in recent months.
David Cowan, Director of Commercial Operations said the safety of passengers and staff is their top priority. A Translink reward scheme pays out up to £1,000 to anyone who witnesses and gives evidence of any incident of trespass, vandalism or assault that results in a successful conviction.
"We continue to work with our trade unions, and colleagues across the industry to explore new methods and actions to stamp out this behaviour. We work closely with the PSNI and their Safe Transport Team and encourage individuals to report incidents either to Translink, Crimestoppers or PSNI so we can take preventative measures and the strongest penalties are brought against offenders.
