ECAN Buses: Criminal/Antisocial Behaviour Nosedives After On-Bus Patrols Launched

16 April 2025. The New Zealand Reporter. This article: crime and anti-social behaviour on ECAN buses, the cost of battling it, and the Network Security Team (NTS).

Costing nearly $1 million since April 2024, ECAN’s Network Security Team appears to have delivered a blow to criminal and antisocial behaviour on the city buses.

The NTS launch came in the wake of a wave of physical assaults, robberies and/or attempted robberies, and other conduct revealed by ECAN.
