Terror on the buses
By Linda Piper


A COMMUTER has described how he was caught up in a riot of drunken teenagers
on his way home from work.

I had a similar experience on the 213 from New Malden to Kingston a few
weeks ago - bus pulled in at New Malden station and as usual I glanced
upstairs to see how busy the bus was. It wasn't full but had around 20
youths who seemed to be running rampage on the top deck banging on the
floor and windows, drinking and smoking. From the few more sensible ones
downstairs, I gathered they were all off to an under 18s disco in
Kingston. It was busy downstairs but none of the other passengers
(myself included) risked climbing the stairs for fear of God knows what.

These kids must have been between 13 and 17.

Just what is going on with our society? *sigh*

Cheers,
