Incidents of unruly behaviour on public transport have become commonplace and more extreme, according to Fianna Fáil.
It's asking passengers to fill out a new safety survey to gauge how big the problem is.
This survey will ask public transport users to rate the different transport modes by safety, whether they’ve witnessed antisocial behaviour on board and if they’ve reported it.
Fianna Fáil’s Dublin spokesperson Cormac Devlin says they’re looking for a snapshot of the issues: "Unfortunately, not everyone feels safe using public transport. Incidents of dangerous unruly behaviour have become far too commonplace and have become more extreme in nature.
Dermot O’Leary from the National Bus and Rail Union says he’s told of incidents like assaults and threats every day, while Irish Rail’s Barry Kenny says they’ve introduced measures to help keep staff and passengers safe.
The survey will run across the country for the summer.
