Metrolink TravelSafe campaign promotes discreet 24/7 reporting of crime,harassment & antisocial behaviour in Greater Manchester.See it, say it,sort it

Bee Network TravelSafe campaign poster at a Greater Manchester Metrolink stop, promoting the 24/7 LiveChat service for passengers who feel unsafe or witness crime, harassment, antisocial behaviour. The poster asks “Is the vibe off?” and encourages travellers to report problems discreetly from a smartphone rather than waiting until later. The campaign forms part of the TravelSafe Partnership, jointly led by the Bee Network and Greater Manchester Police, with support from British Transport Police, transport operators and other local partners. TravelSafe works across buses and trams to prevent and tackle crime, antisocial behaviour and fare evasion, while visible officers and enforcement staff patrol the network. The LiveChat service connects passengers and staff to trained police call handlers and is available through the Bee Network app as well as online. The image has strong editorial value for stories about personal safety on public transport, passenger confidence, women’s safety, harassment, youth antisocial behaviour, safeguarding and the use of digital reporting tools. It also illustrates how transport authorities are trying to make reporting easier in situations where a passenger may not want to make a telephone call or openly approach staff. Greater Manchester’s Bee Network is increasingly integrating buses, trams and local rail under a single public-transport identity. Safety campaigns such as TravelSafe sit alongside CCTV, emergency help points, patrols and enforcement teams intended to reassure passengers and deter offending. The poster can therefore illustrate public transport safety, transport policing, crime prevention, passenger reassurance, digital reporting, Greater Manchester Police, Metrolink security, bus safety, anti-social behaviour, harassment reporting, night-time travel, women and girls’ safety, safeguarding and the wider effort to create a safer integrated transport network across Greater Manchester.
