At the Bidwill festival, last weekend. one community lady advised us of a suggestion that there should always be undercover police officers siting close to the bus drivers on every trip.
Again great idea that I would like implemented - as this will stop threats and potential violence to drivers or other passengers. If we look at affordability many decades ago the New South Wales government was paying for ticket conductors on buses - they weren't security guards - they made sure commuters got buses or trams - they ensured people were paying fares and some of them even made the public happy with morning laughs and 'Good evening' evenings.
The other idea if group our group idol Joan - a national/state advertising campaign to deter rock throwing through all forms of media: radio, television and the the press. Well campaigned - this would be well money spent!
Again, this is a great idea , yet it would need great financial support to make it! At least these are ideas that have meanings and are educational. If the parents of the children had rocks thrown on them and were hurt - how would they feel!
Back in my young days I remember being spoilt by a conductress 'Aunty Joan" as she was 'Aunty Joan' to everyone. When she knew I was getting the double-decker bus - that was open ended - she always had a piece of fresh fruit for me - I had to eat to keep healthy. Well at least I have been eating and keep that part of it!
