Crime on London's transport network has fallen by 8.3 per cent over 2014 to 2015, compared with the corresponding figure recorded for the same period one year previously.
The latest data from Transport for London (TfL) shows that 2,502 fewer offences have taken place - and the rate of crime down to seven offences per million passenger journeys.
Crime fell by a further 12.4 per cent on the London Underground and Docklands Light Railway network - making this the ninth consecutive year of reduced crime.
Managing director of London Underground Mike Brown said this is particularly welcome at a time when night journeys are set to be bolstered with the introduction of the Night Tube.
"We will continue to work closely with our policing partners, bringing out more than 100 police officers each night to keep people safe and secure," he commented.
