Majority of Dubliners don't feel safe on public transport, particularly at night

The safety of the city's public transport system has become a hot topic in recent days after one commuter told her story of being "kicked and abused" by a group of teenagers on the Luas.

Aanchal Mohtra, 26, was on her way home on the Green Line when she was physically and verbally assaulted by three girls on the evening of January 10. Since Ms Mohtra shared her story, there have been calls from Government TDs for stronger garda presence at Luas stops over "frequent anti-social behaviour".

Last week, Dublin Live ran a poll on our website asking commuters if they feel safe on the city's public transport system. Out of 298 respondents, only 47 said they felt safe while 251 concluded they do not.
