Perceptions of safety and security within the public transport system is regarded of high importance among passengers according to multiple passenger satisfaction surveys. However, among the many studies analysing the determinants of public transport mode choice and ridership less focus has been on the influence of safety and security perceptions on travellers’ desire to choose public transport. This study contributes to existing literature by specifically investigating the influence of perceived safety on public transport mode choice using a large-scale travel survey from the multimodal Greater Copenhagen Area. This makes it possible to analyse safety and security at stations while still taking into account other main determinants of public transport usage, e.g. socioeconomic characteristics of the travellers and characteristics related to the public transport system. Specifically, the study also includes walking distances to various public transport stops, e.g. metro, suburban, an...

This article reviews five decades of English and French literature on transit safety in several major databases, with the focus on Scopus and ScienceDirect. The review explores the nature and frequency of transit crime and passengers' safety perceptions in transport nodes and along the trip using bibliometric analysis and a systematic review of the literature. The number of retrieved documents was 3137, and 245 were selected for in-depth analysis. Transit safety as a research area took off after the mid-1990s and peaked after the 2010s. The body of research is dominated by the English-language literature (mostly large cities), with a focus on the safety of rail-bound environments and examples of interventions to improve actual and perceived safety for public transportation (PT) users. Highlighting the importance of transit environments along the whole trip, the article also helps advocate for more inclusion of passengers' safety needs and the involvement of multiple stakeholders in implementing PT policies.
