Anti-Social Behaviour on Public Transport: Discussion

The policing side of it has been discussed, but the report is more about what has happened. Policing is one of the deterrents but there are probably other measures as well. In the context of technology, protective screens and all of that, is there also work to be done on some of our modes of transport that could be done an awful lot better? If somebody is feeling vulnerable in a carriage, how does that person alert staff that he or she is in a vulnerable place, for instance, if two guys are at the back of that carriage and he or she does not feel safe? How does that passenger alert somebody?
