'It's making a difference': City says transit riders feeling safer amid ongoing efforts to improve ETS experience
The City of Edmonton said riders are feeling safer on public transit.
Anecdotal experiences are more powerful than people realize. I stopped taking Vancouver Skytrain after repeated incidents over a 6 month period that turned my 1 hour commute into 3 up to a whopping 6 hour commute. I didn't get home until 11pm on the worst of it. 99.9% reliability means little for the people who faced the badly fumbled 0.1%.Very interesting numbers, but incidents % of total rides is a useless metric, if I see 1 on my ride it's 100%
Wonder if they could provide incidents by location and time frames, as I suspect it's worse at certain times and locations
Overall, in the past month I've seen a very heavy presence of tpos, police, youth out reach etc. BUT they are always busy, doesn't seem to be any less activity...
Then again, that is what I've seen...

As someone who takes it now on a pretty regular basis, it's much better than 2021-2022. I'm seeing more Transit Peace Officers and more anti-loitering enforcement in some stations. It helps that ridership for all lines seems to be getting busier and busier every month.I've been taking the LRT once or twice every weekday for the past month, and it's definitely improved in terms of how comfortable I feel on the train and in the stations.
