Harassment and violence on public transport is a global issue. We look at initiatives aiming to make commuting safer.

In Indonesia, we take a ride on the Pink Bus which serves only female passengers. The city has one the most dangerous transportations systems in the world for women, with high levels of harassment. The scheme hopes to provide them with a safer journey.

And in Germany, we look at a new kind of CCTV that uses artificial intelligence to spot aggressive situations in real-time that鈥檚 soon to be trialled on trains in Germany. The company behind the technology says it could transform safety on the railways.
