Yeah agreed that the posters are just pointless. It's a weird one though as I really don't know what could actually be done on buses especially since the police are cut to the bone. Metro is slightly easier since it's a limited area but even they're struggling. Even known it'd cost a lot of money, the Metro badly needs to consider conductors lately, or at least staff at most stations especially on the Coast.
Mind that said having staff on the interchanges at night would be helpful, Haymarket in particular is a grim place especially when all the druggies hang about outside the Junction and down the back of M&S.

Aye some of them aren't great, might aswell just park in a street it's more likely more secure (and free). Four Lane Ends generally seems alright though mind. Regent Centre is grim and Northumberland Park plus Shiremoor are serious crime hotspots recently and nothing is being done about it either.
Hate Northumberland Park Metro station as it's one way in one way out and you can't tell what's going on at the top of the stairs until it's potentially too late and there's nothing around neither.
