Obviously it depends on the circumstances but I would certainly see them escorted from the bus way before it got to that stage. There is no justification for causing that much trouble the police have to be called to remove you from a public vehicle. I'm surprised no one on the bus thew them off, but then I don't know the circumstances.

Although I live in the (*cringe alert for some*) Upper East Side, I prefer to walk to Denmark Hill or even C'well Green to get a bus. Even then, I have to brave Walworth and Elephant, but at least I miss out on the damned road works on LL and the crush around King's. The walk takes about 35 - 40 mins, but it means I don't sit on a bus thinking 'I hate sitting on a bus'.

I am not sure whether the bus routes have had more buses put on them during the past few years when ED has seen a population growth, or at least a growth in the population that uses buses to get to and from work.

The buses on the 12 route have very poor suspension, and rattle and shake. The vehicles used on other bendy routes don't seem to be as bad.

At least the new, improved 176 vehicles don't have wooden floors, a la Mao era Shanghai trolley bus.
