Rise in Crime in Public Transport


By: Anita


Recent years have seen a phenomenal increase in the number of passengers using the extremely convenient and cost effective public transport. With this increase in the number of passengers, however, incidents of picking pockets and petty thefts have also seen an unprecedented rise.


Pickpockets steal wallets and mobile phones from people using the crowded public transport buses and metro services. Petty crimes like theft of valuables from luggage on trains and buses have been reported.


The concerned authorities need to exercise caution and both the police and citizens need to take up strict measures to curb this menace. Cameras should be installed in public transport and plain clothed police personnel should travel on randomly chosen metro routes, bus stops etc. The general public should also be vigilant.


We need to look at the ends to end crime against our citizens whose life line is the public transport system.
