Seen the same in the West Midlands. On one occaision a bus was
effectively demolished. This was witnessed by a number of other
customers who wrere too afraid to do anything. Despite those on board
camera's no-one ever seems to get punished or publicly made an example
of. I suspect this maybe because the culprits are juveniles.

How much damage will it take before our society takes notice of what is
going on and stands up to it?

Rather than trying to talk nicely to them, perhaps we should have
regime where you get one chance. Do it again and off with your
******** or something.

Well, the DFT seems to be concerned, as it has a section on :
"Crime and Public Transport" on its Website, at URL:
