New public bus cameras improving security: RDN
NANAIMO — Extra eyes and ears on local buses appears to have made transit in the mid-island safer.
Manager of transit operations Daniel Pearce with the Regional District of Nanaimo said new security cameras on their long buses are doing what they intended.
“They have greatly improved the security for both the passengers and operators,” Pearce told NanaimoNewsNOW.
All 49 long buses, serving from Cedar to Qualicum Beach, now have 14 cameras located inside and outside the buses, which capture both audio and video. They were installed between the fall of 2016 and early 2017.
