Time to crack down on the serial bus fare evaders

When the police see a number of youths jump on board the bus, then they themselves board the bus at the next stop and confront the youths.

I AM continuously reading in the paper about these young hoods not paying for their ride.

May I suggest an unmarked police car on two days a week follow the bus from a distance any time, different days, different routes?

Then it will be up to the youths to guess what days and what route the police will be boarding the bus.

When the police see a number of youths jump on board the bus, then they themselves board the bus at the next stop and confront the youths.

If they have not paid to travel, charge them accordingly.

If these youths are older than 10 years of age, they should know better.
