Our latest report has found that victims of crime on public transport are being failed by the reporting journey.

This Hate Crime Awareness Week, we are calling on transport operators and policing authorities to improve the ways in which public transport users can report incidents of abuse, hate crime and unwanted behaviour.

Tomorrow is the start of Hate Crime Awareness Week - a week of solidarity with those affected by hate crime.

On Monday we will be publishing our new research which highlights fundamental flaws in the way hate crimes and other unwanted behaviours on public transport are reported, and how this discourages victims from coming forward and creates a significant gap in understanding the true scale of crime on the network.

Keep an eye on our website and social media platforms next week to find out more.

We welcome the announcement that London’s Mayor is laying out proposals for consistent standards for e-bike operators.

E-bike hire schemes are important and useful to many Londoners, but the number of dockless e-bikes often being carelessly dumped in the streets and blocking pavements causes a range of issues for pedestrians, particularly wheelchair users, people with buggies and those with visual impairments.

We hope the new proposals will include provision for additional parking spaces, stricter rules regarding pavement parking and better enforcement of the highway code for cyclists.

In the meantime, we urge contractors to encourage their users to be more responsible when cycling, particularly when it comes to stopping at pedestrian crossings, and to be more considerate of pedestrians when dropping off their bikes.
