Police and other public transport stakeholders will be focusing on commuter and employee safety in and around the public transport network in a weeklong series of activities from Monday 13 May kicking off at the Adelaide Railway Station.
These actions will be carried out across the metropolitan area and are designed to enhance the well-being and safety of the people travelling on public transport.
Highly visible police will be patrolling trains, trams, busses, stations and interchanges to detect, deter and educate people who engage in antisocial or disruptive behaviour, as well as other transport related offences.
Police will be working closely with transport providers to ensure the safety of the public and staff on and around public transport.
Officers aim to positively engage with the commuters to highlight and encourage respectful and appropriate behaviours towards staff, drivers, and other passengers while on public transport.
Officers from the Public Transport Safety Section, bicycle patrols, off-road motorbikes, the Dog Operations Unit and plain clothes officers will be out and about monitoring behaviour along public transport routes.
The travelling public are encouraged to engage with police and ask any public transport related questions of interest to them.
Anyone who experiences antisocial or violent behaviour on the public transport network is encouraged to report it immediately on the police assistance line on 131 444 or Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.
