Public transit is a process fraught with complexity. Whether it’s a subway station or bus terminal, you can guarantee that most transit centers out there experience a constant flurry of activity, with passengers getting on and off and vehicle routes being overseen and managed. For this reason, keeping an eye on everything becomes absolutely imperative. Here are a few key benefits of wireless security for public transit:

• No more headaches with manual downloads. In Las Vegas, the city’s bus administrators quickly realized how convenient real-time, wireless surveillance was. What really persuaded them was the fact that they no longer had to physically board buses in order to transfer over video recordings from that bus.
• Central management. Before wireless surveillance, transit video surveillance management was not centralized at a remote viewing location. Thanks to wireless technology, it now is, which makes surveillance operations significantly easier, as Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority can attest.”If there’s an issue on the bus, the police can get within range of the bus and stream live what’s going on in the bus, while the bus is driving around its route,” industry expert Joseph Lynch explained.
