This statistic shows the quarterly crime rate on public transportation in London, United Kingdom between 2013/14 and 2018/19, broken down by mode. The London Underground recorded the highest crime rates, with a peak of 14.2 crimes per million passenger journeys recorded between January and March 2019.

Over the past five years, public transportation services have faced significant fluctuations. The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges, severely reducing ridership as lockdowns and business closures curtailed daily commuting. Government intervention played a critical role in maintaining and revitalizing public transit. The Biden administration's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed in 2021, earmarked $1.0 trillion for infrastructure and transportation initiatives over the next decade. Increased federal funding in 2023 helped offset previous declines in economic performance, which cut state budgets and pressured public transport. As the economy recovered, higher disposable income led some commuters to choose premium transport options like Uber and Lyft, particularly in cities with ride-sharing restrictions. Revenue has been declining by a CAGR of 2.5% over the past five years, and is expected to decrease by 2.0%, reaching $83.3 billion in 2024. In 2024, public transportation is poised to stabilize. Federal and state initiatives to overhaul safety and environmental standards will stay center stage. Notably, New York City's congestion pricing tax aims to alleviate city congestion by charging drivers fees ranging from $15 to $36, depending on vehicle size. The tax will direct approximately 80% of the generated revenue towards enhancing the NYC subway and bus network. Government investments in hybrid and all-electric buses gain momentum, aligning with broader goals to reduce carbon footprints and improve urban livability. Elevated crime levels in major cities like New York and Philadelphia remain a concern, prompting increased security measures to protect commuters and enhance public confidence in public transit. Consequently, profit for public transportation is expected to remain stagnant. Looking ahead, the public transportation sector will navigate a complex landscape shaped by urbanization, environmental imperatives and economic conditions. Urban populations in major cities are projected to rise, intensifying traffic volumes and making public transportation systems indispensable. Policymakers are expected to continue prioritizing the reduction of carbon emissions by transitioning to low-emission public transport vehicles bolstered by federal investments in renewable energy. As consumers become more financially aware of persistent inflation and high credit card debt, public transportation's affordability may attract budget-conscious riders, further boosting the industry. Industry revenue is set to expand by a CAGR of 2.1% to an estimated $92.5 billion through the end of 2029.

The global mass transit security market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing concerns over terrorism, crime, and public safety within transportation hubs. The market, encompassing security solutions for airways, seaways, roadways, railways, and other transit modes, is segmented by application across diverse sectors including household, industrial, retail, logistics, healthcare, and others. While precise market sizing requires specific data, considering the prevalence of security concerns and technological advancements (like AI-powered surveillance and predictive analytics), a conservative estimate places the 2025 market value at approximately $15 billion.

Number of crimes and crime rate by type of public transport, including bus, LU / DLR, London Overground, and London Tramlink. Monthly data released 3 months at a time at end of each quarter.

The BTP is responsible for policing the rail network in London, including the TfL managed London Underground (LU), the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Tramlink and the London Overground (LO) services. Crime figures for the LU, DLR, London Tramlink and LO have been provided by the BTP. Crime figures for LU and DLR are reported together as these networks are policed by the same division of the BTP. The BTP only deals with crime relating to the rail and Tramlink network

The MPS is responsible for policing the rest of London’s transport network, including the bus network. The figures reported for the bus network are based on official MPS figures for bus-related crime unless otherwise stated.

There is no distinct category of ’bus crime’ in the MPS crime recording system. Recorded crime data is extracted from the MPS system using a complex query that searches all MPS crime for transport venue codes and those that have the word bus, bus stop, bus station and transport related words somewhere in the electronic case file. For this reason, some crimes that did not occur on the bus network will be included in the figures. This is different from the BTP as all crimes dealt with by the BTP and included on their crime recording system relate directly to the rail network.

The crime volume and rate figures displayed by month are accurate according to the month they were extracted from police and TfL systems and are subject to revision due to late reporting of crimes and adjustment of crime and passenger figures. The full financial year total of figures will differ slightly as they will reflect the most accurate and up to date crime and passenger data available; hence the monthly figures here should not be used to generate full financial year totals. The adjusted financial year figures are published in the annual TfL Crime Statistics Bulletin available here.

Data will be updated on a quarterly basis, showing monthly breakdowns of crime volume and rate of crime per million passenger journeys. The rate of crime per million passenger journeys is calculated by the dividing the volume of crimes by the number of passenger journeys multiplied by one million.

A crime rate per million passenger journeys was unavailable for London Overground prior to April 2011 due to lack of accurate passenger journey information across the entire London Overground network.

This statistic shows the number of crimes recorded on London public transport (UK) in 2017/18 and 2018/19, broken down by mode. In 2018/19, the London Underground overtook buses as the mode of transport seeing the greatest number of crimes. That year, there were 16,137 reported violations, marking a 17 percent increase on the previous year.
