In response to a concerning increase in hate crimes against Jewish and Muslim communities on London's public transport, Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced the formation of a new Transport for London (TfL) hate crime taskforce. This initiative, backed by a £250K investment, aims to identify areas of risk within the transport network and plan improvements to ensure the safety and security of all passengers. The taskforce's creation comes amid reports of rising antisemitism and Islamophobia, highlighting the need for targeted action to combat hate crimes in the city.
