Public transportation

All countries have some form of public transportation such as trains, buses, a subway system or trams, and they all have the same types of risk. But above all they are public environments and require a high level of service.

Ticket machines protected from burglary

Ticket machines containing cash can become a target for criminals. The public transport company, Skånetrafiken, is aiming at completely eliminating cash handling on board the trains and transferring it to the ticket machines. Skånetrafiken protects their machines with a burglar alarm connected to Securitas. This has proven to be a very successful solution.

One result is that passengers feel safer.
