I agree but I just wanted to get a handle on it because, clearly, it is those people who are affected. We should have a zero-tolerance approach and there should never be a single incident on a single bus, train or LUAS.

The opening statement has a couple of requests and it tells us the shocking figures of 21% of people saying they face it on a daily basis and 30% weekly. Although I am not sure if the 21% is included in the 30%, that is an awful lot of people. Clearly, the people who respond are more likely to have had a bad experience and maybe some people who did not respond have not had one or have been fortunate. Generally speaking, maybe it is due to the routes I am on or the time I travel at but, by and large, I am lucky with the service I get. While one incident is one too many, I do not want the message to go out that it is unsafe all day long on all forms of public transport.
