The officers are being deployed to deal anti-social behaviour at routes and locations based on reports received from staff or the public
Seven new public transport safety officers are now on patrol tackling anti-social behaviour across Lancashire's bus network.
Duncan Whitehead, manager of the new team of Public Transport Safety Officers, was at Preston Bus Station for the launch of the scheme. He said: "It's mine and my team's job to help everyone to feel safer using the bus and to help deter anti-social behaviour, so you might see me and my colleagues on patrol at on your local bus service, or at bus stations across the county.
County Councillor Rupert Swarbrick, Lancashire County Council's cabinet member for Highways and Transport, and County Councillor Scott Smith, lead member for Highways and Active Travel, were among a special delegation who visited Preston Bus Station to mark the start of the scheme.
