Public transportation systems are crucial for urban life, facilitating millions of trips daily. However, evolving security threats, including physical assaults and thefts, challenge transit leaders to maintain safety alongside operational efficiency. Experts highlight concerns such as risk assessments and collaboration with law enforcement, while noting unique challenges in passenger ridership post-COVID.
