Lothian Buses Face Surge in Antisocial Behavior | Edinburgh News
Description
Over 1,000 antisocial incidents on Lothian buses since the start of the year—far beyond minor scuffles, with 400+ maintenance requests for smashed seats and windows. Numbers have more than doubled since 2020, and early-year trends suggest we’ll hit 2,000 by year’s end. Six staff have missed work due to safety fears, and drivers report feeling unsafe. While police and the bus company are collaborating—with some success, like a dip around Bonfire Night—the problem persists in certain areas. The company insists on a zero-tolerance stance and is working with groups to keep public transport safe for all.
