BUS provider Stagecoach is to roll out a new CCTV system across its fleet after signing a £1.5 million contract.
The 12-month deal will ensure all new buses ordered by Stagecoach in 2008-09 are fitted with state-of-the-art digital CCTV systems from LOOK CCTV.
A record £71m is being invested by Stagecoach in more than 580 new buses for delivery during the year to the end of April 2009
Les Warneford, managing director of Stagecoach UK Bus, said: “Buses are the country’s most popular form of public transport and crime on buses is extremely low.
“However, even the fear of crime can act as a deterrent to travel. CCTV has a proven track record of making passengers feel safe, cutting crime and antisocial behaviour and helping track down offenders.”
