Overview
- MVG, Munich police, the Federal Police and S‑Bahn München unveiled the joint initiative at U‑Bahnhof Fröttmaning, with rollout via short informational spots on onboard screens and social media.
- The videos explain how to seek help using emergency call pillars, train intercoms and the 110 emergency number, with police citing typical response times of about four minutes in urgent cases.
- Partners emphasized prevention, visibility and surveillance, with security staff present across the network and roughly 15,000 cameras operating in stations and trains.
- Police data recorded nearly 15,000 offenses in public transport in 2024, largely fare evasion, while MVG reports around 30 assaults on its employees each year.
- The Kreisjugendring criticized the campaign as too vague and urged clearer, scenario‑based guidance, citing research that more than half of 14‑ to 27‑year‑olds feel unsafe at night and 28% of young women reported sexual harassment.
