So they will begin hurling their dog’s poop or something similarly untraceable.

i love when smug europeans try to criticize us americans.. they are so far gone, it’s hopeless and i just laugh at them when they try their usual arrogance.

Well now...

if they supplied the bus drivers with .38 revolvers instead....

They could “mark” the errant passengers in an unmistakable fashion.

I’m thinking a nice round hole in their forehead would stand out on surveillance tapes....???

Is this some kind of trendy thing, spitting on bus drivers? Is it naive to ask what for?

Instead of DNA swab kits, why don’t they just issue Glocks or Beretta’s. Somebody spits on you, BAM!

A couple of yob gobs, a couple rounds of .9mm, a couple of dead yobs and maybe they would get the idea of no more spitting.

‘It is the latest initiative against anti-social behaviour on buses and has coincided with the Mayor’s introduction of free bus travel for under-16s.’

Dam. Why the hell are they getting upset? They ride for free!

It does remind me of the time a very good friend of mine was spat upon the Metro in Paris. She made the mistake of wearing her Star of David in the presense of an Algerian, and that was his way of showing his unwavering *respect* for the Jewish people.

Why don’t they just install plexiglass doors for the drivers. I mean, it isn’t rocket science. And, what is this all about, anyway? Spitting on bus drivers? What in the world? What next?

I could have used one of those kits back in 1972.

Why don't they just hang a sign up that proclaims "Spit-free zone", or "Dare to say no to spit". That ought to solve it. Or they could mandate that the NHS provide saliva gland removal for all subjects.

Bit extreme. A Taser should be adequate

....good point...

And, it would be a bit more quiet...

EXCEPT for the screaming.
