This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine examines the security challenges facing mass transit systems, focusing primarily on the safety of bus drivers and passengers. It highlights the growing problem of violence against drivers, particularly exacerbated by COVID-19 related enforcement of mask mandates and social distancing measures. The podcast then explores the threat of terrorism against mass transit systems and the potential impact on public trust and behaviour. It concludes by discussing various security solutions, including protective barriers for drivers, enhanced surveillance systems with real-time monitoring capabilities, the presence of security personnel, and comprehensive training for transit staff to handle various security threats, including de-escalation techniques.
