About
This session is in collaboration with Arriva & Transport for London

The safety of public transport is crucial, not only for protecting human lives, but also for ensuring stability and trust in our society. In light of the ever-changing threats that surround us, it is essential that we work together as the EU to reduce risks and find new approaches that allow us to prevent potential use of buses and coaches for terrorist attacks. During this session, we will share insights on prevention and training, the role of law enforcement, technology, cooperation between Member States and innovative prevention methods that impact bus transport.
