Share your story: Have you experienced antisocial behaviour on public transport?

More than 560 complaints last year about intimidation, assault, vandalism, begging and theft

Over the weekend we covered a story from a woman who experienced harassment and antisocial behaviour on Irish Rail.

Sarah-Jane Murphy was surrounded by a group of young men on the Dart as she travelled alone from Dún Laoghaire during lunchtime.

“I was trapped, stuck and scared. The air was heavy with cigarette smoke and the smell of stale alcohol. And still the lewd taunts kept on coming,” she said.

Figures show more than 560 passengers made formal complaints last year about intimidation, vandalism, assault, begging and theft on Irish Rail services.
