Virtually all users of public transport have witnessed anti-social behaviour, a survey of commuters has found.
Of 1,300 respondents, 93% said they have seen anti-social behaviour on public transport and 90% have witnessed it more than once. Over two-thirds, 70%, said gardai on public transport would make them feel safer.
The survey was carried out by Dublin-based Fianna Fail politicians who are campaigning for a dedicated Public Transport Garda Unit. The respondents said they "very unsafe" on public transport - especially at night.
