Putting lots of Smartphones into lockers will probably lead to even more lockers being broken into... those things aren`t exactly safes. Also, not every school everywhere actually has lockers.
I would bet it’s a slim enough minority of students who pay public transport on a per-trip basis that theft would not be from arbitrary break ins. A student would have to (recklessly?) use a high-end phone for this & be spotted putting an uncovered phone in the locker.
The best security is a good insurance policy. Not sure if high-end phones tend to have an insurance policy because I avoid them myself.
