Almost nobody worries about these transport safety cameras because we don’t fear or tolerate overpolicing in the same way.
Of course there should be safety cameras on public transport!
And if a US tourist was on a night bus in London they too would be happy there were cameras. A nation of drivers has a very different calibration, I suspect.
In the end the CCTV doesn't actually prevent anything from happening ...
The question of whether it prevents things from happening is a question of statistics.
I suspect the data doesn't support your claim, and that certain categories of crime have indeed been deterred. But neither of us can know without that statistical analysis.
