Public transportation is a subset of the national transportation infrastructure and a major component of the economy. Passenger safety, secure critical infrastructure, and customer service are of utmost importance to transit agencies. The need to secure air, sea, and surface transportation is important because of increasing intrusions and the trafficking of arms and illegal goods between different locations and countries. The safety and security of public transport is very important, as many people commute by bus or train. Post 2000, mass transit hubs and transportation centers witnessed a rise in criminal and violent activities. In addition, violent acts around the world have shown that mass transit systems are the easy targets for criminal attacks. It is seen that onethird of criminal activities worldwide target transportation and transit systems. For instance, in 2005, three bomb blasts took place on subway trains and buses during the morning rush hour in London, which killed more than 30 people.
