About

The purpose of the SAFE BUS Project is to advance safety and security in public bus networks by making sure that all transport providers have access to knowledge about transport security and emergency procedures.

 

This Safe Bus e-Learning course introduces to you to a new and innovative training initiative on the security of public bus transportation. It is designed for both managers and bus drivers and aims to enrich security procedures and implement ready to use recommended solutions.

 

Public bus transport systems are becoming more and more vulnerable to various threats and risks of terrorist attacks.

 

Transport networks are susceptible to a range of incidents, which can impact service and need to be prepared for and managed. Terrorist activity has targeted public transport systems as vulnerable assets in the recent past and needs to be considered a serious threat. It cannot be addressed by governments alone – it is a collective responsibility, where all stakeholders play a role to support authorities and police with prevention, response and resilience.

 

As terrorist attacks can lead to a full-scale crisis planning and practicing response is sound practice to ensure business continuity and a resilient network. And when such incidents happen, a co-ordinated and well-managed response is essential.
