All buses in Stockholm will get camera surveillance. At New Year 2006 the project will start and by the end of 2007 all buses will be equipped with the new system.
Bus drivers are happy and commuters will probably also benefit from less problems since all travelers will be identified if troubles arise on the bus. So far buses in Stockholm are very safe; it's mostly during nighttime that there can be serious problems in Stockholm.
Another step to make the situation even safer for the drivers is the complete ban of cash handling on the buses. You will not be able to buy a ticket from the driver next year; you must buy the prepaid tickets available at various locations close to the subway and kiosk around town.
