The scale of violence on London's buses is revealed today. An average
of eight crimes such as stabbings, sexual assaults and beatings are
reported each day - as well as 160 cases of criminal damage, fights,
fare disputes and drunken clashes.
Documents seen by the Evening Standard show an increasing use of
knives and the involvement of teenagers. There is an upsurge of
disturbances between 3pm and 5pm as pupils go home from school. All
pupils and students under 18 travel free on London buses. But violent
crime is happening at all times of the day - even during the rush
hour. The figures come after Mayor Boris Johnson promised to increase
the presence of uniformed police and police community support officers
on buses.
Internal TfL documents detail every "code red", when bus controllers
at TfL's CentreComm are told by drivers or members of the public of
crime, vandalism and disorder. In 107 days this year 838 violent
incidents were recorded, along with hundreds more incidents of
disturbance and criminal damage. These included:
• Six youths in Barking on board a No287 stabbing a 25-year-old man in
the head at 7pm.

Seems pretty reasonable - with 2-3 million bus passengers per day (c.
2 billion journeys per year, most of which are returns), a 0.0084%%
chance of being a victim of any crime, and a 0.00042%% chance of being
a victim of serious crime, are pretty good odds.

Well yes, but what does the man standing at the back of the Clapham Omnibus
think?

Either shops are refusing to sell headphones to teenagers or they do
it on purpose just to piss everyone off or hoping for a argument so
they can prove themselves to their mates. My guess is the latter.

Blimey! They get around! His brother and a mate were doing that at the
back of an M48 bus in Berlin the other day! (Except that they were
saying "Scheisse" and "Arschloch" instead of "fock, fock")
All they wants is rispek, innit?
