SBB Takes Action to Combat Violence in Trains with Enhanced Safety Measures
The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) reports an average of ten assaults on its staff daily, with incidents becoming more severe. In response, SBB is implementing new safety protocols, including equipping transport police with bodycams and ensuring train attendants work in pairs during high-risk hours. A new campaign, ‘Gemeinsam respektvoll unterwegs’ (Together Respectfully on the Move), aims to promote respectful interactions among passengers and staff. These measures seek to improve safety for both employees and travelers in Swiss trains as concerns over aggression in public transport grow.
