ABSTRACT
Safety at bus stops, rail stations, and taxi ranks is an important issue in crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) principles related to bus stop provision. These transport access points have been criticized due to their locations away from major activity areas such as shops, and the subsequent lack of opportunities for natural surveillance. CPTED design principles should address visibility, access control, lighting, security hardware, landscaping, resistance to vandalism, and maintenance. Strategy CPTED is used to build a subway environment that deters the opportunity for crime to occur. Incorporating CPTED subway construction requires participation from security and police, architects, builders, and the subway authority. The use of CPTED in subway construction will help deter and control all types of crime and help create an environment that is clean, well-lighted, and safe. CPTED maintenance and care standards safeguard the best interests of the community and transit agency where they serve.
