We can never completely eradicate it but we do have to take action in every instance to try to stop it. One of the things that to my mind really does work, and it is more on the bus service rather than rail or light rail services, is engagement with the community. It is often about community policing. A lot of the time with the bus drivers I have met it is often about an isolated bus driver being in an area where they do not feel safe. In such an instance it is not just the policing end with An Garda Síochána but it is also about community policing, which can have most effect, and working with communities. It is a multilayered issue we have to address in the same complex way.
