Crime on buses is being tackled by West Yorkshire Police
Extra PCSOs are being drafted in to help tackle rising anti-social behaviour on the bus network in West Yorkshire.
Operator Arriva said it had reduced capacity on one of its major routes because of crime and missiles being launched at buses.So-called “Trojan buses”, where plain clothes officers ride on services, are also still being used, having been introduced in West Yorkshire three years ago. Mr Haskins referenced violence at Ossett Bus Station, in Wakefield, which led to Arriva initially announcing they were stopping evening services there in August.
Mr Haskins said: “The intervention there, which was during the summer holidays, was addressed. was nipped in the bud and I think things are starting to settle down again now.”
