Promoting Respect and Safety for Public Transport Workers

Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the launch of They’re Someone’s…, which is a joint antisocial behaviour campaign by Borders Buses, Scottish Borders Council and Police Scotland; recognises the clear message of zero tolerance for abuse towards transport staff; acknowledges concerns about rising levels of abuse against frontline transport workers, particularly during the festive period; agrees with the challenge to the misconception that antisocial behaviour is linked only to young people or the under-22 free bus travel scheme; commends Borders Buses staff, who feature in the campaign, for highlighting that transport workers are valued members of families and communities, and welcomes efforts to promote a safe and respectful public transport network for all.
