Birmingham Bus Stechbbing Spark's security fears because bosses say that the risk is “very low”.

An unspoken stake on board a bus in Birmingham has triggered the passengers in public transport and demands safer trips. Knifeman Luke Somers confronted a victim at a bus stop in the city center and pushed him into the back of No. 51.

It was only when the victim returned to his hotel that he realized that he had been painted, which led to permanent security fears together with sleep struggles. Somers, who also aimed at the stomach of a pregnant woman in the incident, was detained for two years and nine months last week.

The 40-year-old is said to have a number of mental problems, including paranoid schizophrenia, psychosis and fear as well as a comprehensive criminal register of more than 100 crimes. After the message corresponds to his prison sentence, many fears expressed their security in public transport.

Cheryl Corley said: “It is bad if you are not safe in public transport with which you are safe – sad.” Sorin Toni added: “I'm afraid to take to the street. I think if the police had more checks, the situation in Birmingham would change a little.”

Maureen Kelly commented that the incident in which Somers also dealt with another male passenger, one: “Great display for the use of the buses !!!!” was. David Atkins added: “Safe England? It is getting worse.”

Crecile Romero said: “Are these people crazy. What's going on with you? Disgrade man! If you enjoy taking others. Nobody is safe. We have to commute to continue our daily tasks. We need safe roads.”

Last September, Birminghamlive revealed how hundreds of crimes in West Midland's bus services were recorded.

Violent attacks, criminal damage, drunk and ongoing behavior, robbery and sex crimes were reported in 2024.

The data showed that No. 74, which runs from Birmingham to Dudley via West Bromwich, suffered the most crimes. And the most common crime was revealed as violence against the person who was reported 524 times – about twice a day.

Arsung and criminal damage were another common problem when Yob's board devastated. This was reported 379 times. The crimes of public order, which can include oral abuse, drunk and yobist behavior, occurred 267 times, as did theft.

There were 111 reports of robbery and 75 sex crimes. There were also 31 cases where people had weapons on the bus. Police and bus operators insist that the risk of crimes is very low if crimes are compared to the total number of trips and that the services are generally secure. However, there are also incidents that are not reported in buses.

A spokesman for National Express West Midlands said: “The numbers show that the likelihood that he will be victims of crime on a bus will be very low. With around four million passenger trips on National Express West Midlands buses per week there is only one crime per 60,000 bus trips every week.

“We are part of the Safer partnership in West Midlands and work very closely with the police team, with a variety of tactics to combat crime and anti-public transport.

“The safer travel team recently also has the number of traffic safety officers who patroy the public transport network in the West Midlands, serve a deterrent and further insure our bus drivers and passengers.”

The spokesman added: “The passengers should always choose 999 if there is an urgent crime or an emergency. Alternatively, you can view the safer travel report, say something to serve something to report discrete incidents from non-emergencies. Simply text sheesay and details of the incident, including time, date, location and route number up to 81018.”

Birminghamlive contacted the West Midlands Police for an explanation.
