Artist has been badly treated Stop moaning about the lake Crow habitat is no more Surely, cull must be illegal? More Headlines Can Transperth please explain why, on their buses, they display "rules of behaviour" for passengers when there is no system of enforcement? Last Friday at about 9pm I took the No. 102 from Perth to Cottesloe via the University of WA. The bus was full, including a gang of young people crammed in the wheelchair area. We were a captive audience for a performance by half a dozen young girls, screaming and cavorting like deranged wild animals. These girls, recording their offensive gyrations with their flashing mobile phone cameras, managed to halt the bus twice. The driver was exasperated but apparently impotent. The rioting only stopped when these kids got off at UWA. I asked the driver what he felt about this and he said the police are too busy to help. "Anyway, that was just a warm-up," he added, "get this bus in an hour's time and then you'll see something." Surely an effective system of control is needed - at least on evening buses involving drops and pick-ups at places like UWA? Also, we need loud complaints from passengers if this problem is to be resolved. Let's put badly behaved kids in their place with discipline and punishment. They don't rule the world - yet.
