Time for Zero Tolerance?
 
(CJG Now Thankfully Living In The North)typed


And whilist I can appericate and encourage non-smoking underground. I
fail to see the point of not letting people smoke in open air
stations. Im sure there is a reasonable reason why this is banned?
Surely any underground or enclosed station should be non-smoking.
While open air station it'll be allowed. Im sure the station
assistants at Harrow On The Hill station who won't even go an approach
smokers on the open platforms in the evenning would agree with it.


Smokers leave dog ends everywhere.
Smouldering dog ends present a fire hazard.
Smokers still give off smoke in an open-air station making life
unpleasant to those downwind.

With some people ignoring the 'let the passengers off the train first' rule
and even smoking on stations and platforms, is it time for zero tolerance?

Is it time to expect London Underground to uphold the Byelaws?


When London Underground provides a clean, pleasant, fast, reliable
service for its paying customers we'll let the people off the train
first.


So your fellow passengers suffer because of shortcomings you attribute
to LUL? How does your behaviour as a rude, ill-mannered troglodyte
encourage LUL to improve the service?

I hope someone gives you the kicking you deserve next time you push
through people...

Simple basics of pyschology show that if you treat people like dogs
they will act like dogs. If your train is usually late, usually dirty
and usually uncomfortable then when something goes wrong out of LU's
control instead of rembering the times it did turn up on time you
remember the times it didn't and take your anger out on the people
with probably the least control over factors affecting the running of
the trains.

This faceless "you" you speak of: it's not the fellow passengers
treating people like dogs, so why should they suffer?

Again, all about LUL. So why treat fellow passegers this way?

Or is this just an attempt to justify the actions of ill mannered
oiks?


Cheers,

Jason.
