Guidance A key consideration for implementing video surveillance at stops is the supporting infrastructure, which would require at least a power source. Consideration also should be given to connectivity to monitoring systems. Alternatively, the use of CCTV by businesses proximate to bus stops or shelters should be considered. The use of communication systems at bus stops may enhance security. If cell phones are prevalent in a system, then a security program advising whom to call to report suspicious activity or actual criminal events could benefit passengers. Additionally, improving stops design to avoid blind spots and improve visibility can also help make waiting for the bus feel safer.
