Dublin Bus has advised me that the company has fitted digital video surveillance equipment to 965 of its vehicles to date, which has improved safety to both customers and staff. This has contributed to a reduction of anti-social behaviour both on and off the buses. Dublin Bus advises that the Garda have used the footage to detect both on-bus and on-street crime and a number of files are currently under investigation.
