Buses are used by thousands of people, young and old, daily. They provide the public with a way to travel from one place to another easily. People should feel safe using public transport, but some out of control teenagers make this very difficult. Many crimes occur on buses; one of the most frequent crimes includes violence, which is normally carried out by teenagers.

"I have been using public transport for many, many years now and I have witnessed a lot of crimes, the most recent was a fight between a teenage boy and girl," said a disguisted man, who takes the bus to get to work almost everyday. "At first the fight was verbal, they passed nasty remarks to eachother, but soon after, the fight turned physical after something the girl said led him to punch her in the face and spit on her, the girl was shaken and got off the bus and that was it." If the boy wasn't pulled back by his friends, things could've ended tragically. Matters like this should be taken seriously not only by the police but also by anyone who witnesses this awful crime.

This kind of behaviour is disguisting and shocking, some teenagers have become completely out of control and have caused many people to feel in danger when using any kind of public transport. Is this fair?

Violence is the intentional use of physical force or power used to injure, abuse, damage, destroy or even kill a person! It is a very big issue.  Physically harming someone is illegal so if you see any act of violence anywhere at anytime it should be reported.
