Definitely. Punish the perpetrators and not the ones not causing issues
That’ll stop them lobbing bricks at busses, I’m sure
If you’d ban them from the buses if they’d bought their ticket, then the fact that they got on the bus for free shouldn’t change anything.
Folk don’t go to work to get assaulted, and the public don’t go on public transport to have to deal with bams. It’s a tiny minority of people with free passes that are causing bother, but it doesn’t take many people to fuck everything up for everybody else.
We want people to use public transport more. It should at least be safe for passengers and staff.
I wish we could start trying to understand why some young people are being so violent and realise that are perhaps some other things going on that need to be addressed.
We’ve got a society of folk that just want to get home at the end of the night. Ideally, we’d have the neds conform to that but if not, I can see why they’d want to throw folk off that are taking the piss.
The boy from Elgin who beat the driver will be out quick enough to still get free bus travel. Let that sink in for a minute.
When I was 16/17 and my mates were all pushing out brats my parents and elders used to say “we’ll see what happens when those babies are old enough, same age as their mum and dad were when they got pregnant” well we’re basically at that point now. Where the kids of the “kids who had kids at 16/17” are now that age being brought up with a 17 year old mum and dad who are still at high school and then went to college to learn to become a brickie or beautician while their baby was growing up.
Unlikely to see the SNP back this given their judicial reforms for young offenders and move to have younger offenders receive more lenient punishments instead of things like this or jail etc.
I have an idea to solve this overflowing issue in the prison system. They have to serve a minimum service of 4 years in the military, they will be watched and monitored. But that would help give them purpose and something to work for plus it would bolster the armies much lacking numbers.
Violent Youths. Young boys these days will get off on harassing people in the streets for a laugh, disgusting behaviour.
>Transport Scotland has confirmed that it is working closely with operators, unions, and other stakeholders to “develop further sanctions and preventative measures.”
>The government body is currently exploring a new behavioural code for passengers and the temporary suspension of travel cards.
Definitely needed.
It’s a privilege that comes with responsibilities, and if you are acting violently, you should lose that privilege.
