In the Hamburg subway network, the main station remains the station with the most police operations. Neugraben station is a focus for the police on the S-Bahn this year.
Where is it safe on Hamburg’s public transport – and where is it not? The CDU parliamentary group wanted to know this and asked the Senate in detail about the numbers of police operations.
Different leaders for the U-Bahn and S-Bahn
When it comes to the subway, the main station took the top spot in the first half of this year with almost 850 operations. The Jungfernstieg, Farmsen and Barmbek stations follow at a considerable distance with around 130 to 140 missions.

Theft is the most common crime at train stations
The reasons for calling the police are varied and no consistent trend can be seen from the numbers. By far the largest number of reported crimes on trains and at stations concerns theft.
