Not sure what happened to the men because I was on the phone to the police. I had to call twice: once during the fight, then when I hopped off & the 3rd man remained on the train. 1st I was shaken. It was more important to keep the train running than to take the violent man off

Hey
@TrainsInfo can you explain your policy in regards to the safety of passengers??? There should be standard procedures in place for dealing with violent/drunk idiots like this. Bottling up the public in a tin can with these people and simply shuffling it on is not a solution1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Hello Peter and Dr Zevallos. This is extremely concerning to hear and we're so sorry you had to experience this. We have proticols in place when safety is concerned, but without all the details, it would not be appropriate for us to comment on this specific situation via Social.

Thank you for your rapid reply and for taking this seriously. Our society has harbored and accepted this kind of thuggish behavior for too long. It's time for change.

Thanks
@TrainsInfo I've submitted the form with the details of what happened. I hope this is taken seriously. Violence should never be permissible, and public safety should never be deprioritised over a train schedule. Appreciate you raising this@PeterCawdron1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@TrainsInfo I've just spoken to a member of train security and I'm appalled. He was dismissive. He said the staff member acted according to his training. I told him I'd witnessed an incident of violence & he was adding to my distress by minimising what happened.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@TrainsInfo When a woman has reported an incident of violence on a train and then made a complaint about train staff conduct, I cannot believe your staff yet again deprioritised the matter. He said sarcastically "What do you want me to do, stand him down right now?" 2/1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
.@TrainsInfo Your security officer was insensitive, talking over me, and did not treat my complaint seriously. Didn't bother asking if I was ok.
Does no one in your organisation take public safely seriously?
Please never have a callous man call a shaken woman, at 11pm no less

No one should be exposed to the threat of violence on public transport. As the transport authority you’re either indirectly allowing/encouraging this through inaction, or you’ve got an active policy for your staff on how to deal with this. There’s no middle ground
