Then you can take a taxi, or a train. Its not my a drivers fault
you can't drive, yet they get peanalised for it. Martin
Underwood can drive, he has the choice of scumfilled busses,
expensive convoluted trains or the comfort of his car.

As you obviously never use public transport, how do you know what
buses are like? I use them daily, and usually find them to be
filled with charming, interesting human beings.

I use public transport every day, train and tube. I rarely use
busses as they are full of scum.

Buses (note spelling) are *not* full of scum in my experience, and I
resent the implied insult. I have seen more uncivilised behaviour on
the tube than on buses. Where and when has been your "rare" experience
of buses?

even
more on the tube.

And a lot less on the buses - which are, as I said, usually filled with
interesting and charming people, often very young, whose heartaches,
noisily expressed to their peers, either directly or via their mobile
telephones, make me smile discreetly to myself....

One thing worse than scum and thats evesdroppers. No doubt you read
newspapers over peoples shoulders too.

As for price, buses are obviously cheaper, as they are full of scum, but
more than that, they are way too slow, It's faster in a car than a bus, even
ignoring door-door, and that's saying something. They stop every 50 yards
for some lazy scumbag druggie to get off and buy their crack or dope or
whatever.

Sod that. If a conversation's confidential, the bus/tube isn't the place
for it. Or turn the volume down a bit.

Where's the problem in that?

You are confusing overhearing with eavesdropping. And anyway, since,
according to you, the buses are full of "lazy scumbag druggies", how
could I possibly be reading a newspaper over someone's shoulder, since
if I *were* what you say I am, I wouldn't be able to read?????

I totally and utterly resent the implication in that last remark.

Okay, so, how many people were on each bus? Of those, how many did you
see using drugs? How many? Exactly, please. How do you know the
elderly ladies travelling to their church fellowship meetings had
handbags stuffed full to the brim of crack cocaine? Did you see the pot
poking out from under the baby in the pushchair, or the schoolbags of
his brother and sister, or their tired mother's shopping bag?

What other incidences, apart from drug misuse, of anti-social behaviour
did you see? Or were the people on the bus just not "people like me",
so you automatically assumed that they were "scumbag druggies" to quote
your other post?

Please post details of the anti-social behaviour you saw, the people
committing it, and whether or not you reported them, as was your civic
duty, to the police.

And if not, why not?

If you want to see another example of this sort of behaviour (and that
time it was tolerated) see:

Yet another reason private transport is better
