EXPLOSION ON THE LONDON UNDERGROUND2 EXPLOSION ON THE LONDON UNDERGROUND. Question one A passenger’s confidence is actually a belief that the passengers can rely on somebody or information relating to a given problem that made them have fear. It is important for the passengers to have confidence especially after the explosion that caused so many lives as this will help them to gain trust and use the same means of transport again. To restore confidence among the passengers, several activities need to be undertaken which may include employing more uniformed security officers who are fully armed with appropriate requirements1. This is seen as an important activity since once a passenger or whoever was affected on the explosion sees this security personnel around, they are definitely assured of their security as this boosts their confidence2. Several checkpoints should be put in place for proper scrutiny of the passengers and the buses. This will definitely boost the confidence of both the passengers and the people around, since before and even after the journey, all the checkpoints will very busy with the busses and people who want and have traveled will be in and out of the checkpoints for proper scrutiny, by this, the passengers will be assured of their security3. Lastly, most of the affected passengers may be highly traumatized because of the explosion and others were also got into the accident because of the panic they had. So in order to gain more confidence in such kinds of people, the company should offer free and proper counseling from professionals and expertise as this will boost the passengers’ confidence. Question two It is still safe to travel with the London buses and tubes even after the explosion since this explosion was like an eye-opener. This made the company be more vigilant and alert and even resilient on such attacks and maters of security in general. Various safety strategies were put in place to ensure that such attacks are minimized and also the passengers were assured of their security as this will make them feel at ease to board the London and tubes again.

EXPLOSION ON THE LONDON UNDERGROUND3 company's mistake for the attack or the explosion to take place. Again the company should not be mistaken for such explosions since it was an external attack which they did not have any control over, so this should be understood by the passengers since terrorist do not only attack the buses or specific companies means of transport but can also attack even individuals in gatherings, walking on streets or anywhere, and even if the passengers who were affected did not use the busses they could have still been attacked anywhere since the terrorists are not predictable and can attack anywhere of their target4. With this knowledge, the passengers should not panic and not feel safe by not using such buses and tubes. REFERENCES 4K.
