According to a report by Taiwan's "Central News Agency" on May 22, the London Underground is the world's first subway to be built. There are millions of passengers every day. The London Transport Bureau installs a large number of monitors in stations and carriages to protect passengers and prevent crime and antisocial behavior And encourage people to take the initiative to notify people with suspicious behavior.
According to reports, there are 11 routes on the London Underground with more than 150 years of history. On July 7, 2005, terrorists attacked the subway with a portable bomb, killing 52 people. It was the most serious public safety incident in the subway.
The London police later used surveillance video footage to find out the appearance of the terrorists and the route they traveled, and then re-established their background and possibly linked terrorist organizations.
After the terrorist attack on the London Underground, the authorities once considered installing the same security equipment at the subway station as the airport to avoid the tragedy from happening again. However, because there are many passengers entering and leaving the subway station, especially the large stations connected to the railway station The security check will cause a serious double of the crowd, and finally give up this idea.
Transport for London is equipped with monitors in all subway stations and parking lots, and monitors are also installed in multiple carriages. The Transport Bureau clearly stated that the use of monitors is for the safety of subway employees, passengers and the public, and the purpose is to prevent And monitor crime and anti-social behavior.
Subway stations often broadcast to remind passengers that if they see unattended luggage or parcels, or if someone with suspicious behavior is in the subway station, they should immediately notify the station staff. Once the station staff in the monitoring room finds people, things, and things that may affect safety, they will immediately notify the relevant personnel to deal with them.
If there are large-scale sports events or activities, in order to prevent people from having trouble after drinking, the Transportation Bureau will also cooperate with the police to close the neighboring subway stations to control the crowds, avoid accidents, and uncontrollable accidents that are out of control.
