Video surveillance has increased in the federal public transport system, following a trend at other transport companies including in German and in select Swiss cities, writes SonntagsBlick. The railway company says that part of the reason for the increase is the expansion of rail service and that video cameras are a requirement for new trains. “Video surveillance is part of our security concept. Last year, public prosecutors requested video images from the Federal Railways on average 200 times per month, writes SonntagsBlick.
