public transport solutions

"Public transport companies are more aware than ever of the benefits of CCTV. They can save money on accident/insurance claims and reduce vandalism/physical attacks making public transport cheaper, safer and more enjoyable. 21st Century is leading the way in the development of innovative products involving CCTV with integrated tools providing 3G connectivity, telematics interfaces, passenger counting and most importantly fuel savings, where there are rising costs and a focus on lower emissions."

Paul Rogers

Through its subsidiary, 21st Century, the group provides leading edge CCTV and black box technology which improves safety on public transport vehicles and allows operators to monitor their fleet and reduce insurance and claims costs.

CCTV is being used by public transport operators throughout the UK to improve passenger security as one of the key drivers to increasing passenger numbers. It is a strategy that is at the heart of every public transport operator in the business.

CCTV reduces crime such as:

  • Vandalism
  • Attacks on staff
  • Attacks on customers
  • Theft (pick pocketing etc.)

CCTV is also being used to repudiate fraudulent claims for personal injury and poor driving. This helps reduce the operators costs and protects staff and drivers from false accusations. Another benefit is a reduction in vehicle accident claims as drivers can prove the accident was not their fault.
