  The Shocking Truth about Public...

  Public transportation is often presented as the backbone of modern cities, a vital system that connects people to jobs, schools, and essential services. Advocates promote it as an affordable, eco-friendly, and efficient alternative to private vehicles, reducing congestion and improving urban mobility. Governments and transit agencies highlight its benefits, claiming it serves the public good while advancing sustainability goals. However, beyond the polished image of well-maintained buses, sleek trains, and promises of convenience, there lies a far more complicated and often troubling reality.  
    
  The public is frequently told that mass transit is the key to reducing traffic and lowering pollution, yet many systems fail to deliver on these promises. Trains break down, buses run late, and commuters find themselves packed into overcrowded vehicles, often feeling unsafe. Meanwhile, taxpayers pour billions into these systems, only to see fare increases, service cuts, and poorly maintained infrastructure. The question arises: If public transportation is supposed to be a solution, why does it so often feel like a problem?  
    
  Another significant issue is safety. Crime rates on buses, subways, and train platforms have become a growing concern, with riders facing theft, assault, and harassment. Many transit systems lack sufficient security measures, leaving passengers vulnerable. The psychological stress of commuting through unsafe environments can be overwhelming, particularly for women, the elderly, and other vulnerable populations. Despite these risks, officials frequently downplay crime statistics, insisting that public transit remains a safe option.

  M.L. Humphrey draws upon twenty years of experience with regulatory compliance, and AML compliance in particular, as both a regulator of broker-dealers and a consultant to some of the largest financial institutions in the world, to give an overview of the main AML compliance requirements, with a particular focus on customer identification and suspicious activity monitoring and reporting.This book is meant to be a high-level overview of AML compliance requirements, which means it focuses on the general concepts behind the regulations as opposed to any specific industry- or country-level regulations or any specific suspicious activity fact patterns. But the book should give a strong foundation for understanding those industry- or country-level requirements.
