Public transport security

When you ride a taxi, train, or bus, you want to make sure you're safe, right? That's why people who run public transport have to make sure that nobody brings bad things on board that could hurt people. So, they have people they call "security" to help keep everyone safe.

Security people are kind of like grown-up superheroes. They keep watch over the transport places and check everyone's bags before they get on board. If they find something that is dangerous, they take it away and make sure nobody uses it to hurt anyone.

Sometimes security people also use cameras to watch the transport places and make sure nobody is doing anything bad. And they also help people who are in trouble or need some help.

The most important thing to remember is that security people are there to protect you and everyone else who is traveling with you. So, if you ever have any problems or see something suspicious, just ask a security person for help.
