The Point to Point Transport Commissioner has launched its ‘Every ride should be a safe ride’ campaign calling on the community to report any harassment witnessed or experienced in point to point transport vehicles.
The campaign will run throughout the holiday season and comprises radio announcements to be aired across Sydney metropolitan networks, and a digital campaign appearing on social media platforms.
The campaign aims to highlight that both passengers and drivers should feel safe and respected using point to point transport – every ride should be a safe ride. Harassment, including sexual harassment, and inappropriate behaviour in taxis, hire vehicles or rideshare should never be tolerated.
The campaign urges anyone who experiences or witnesses criminal behaviour in a point to point vehicle to contact the police. All unwanted behaviour should be reported to the taxi or hire vehicle’s service provider. You can also contact the Point to Point Transport Commissioner’s Industry Contact Centre on 131727 or by using the online feedback form.
