While I certainly do not in any way condone the behaviour of the 2 young lasses in question, this sort of behaviou has been going on for years. I travelled on the Belgrave/Lilydale between Mont Albert and East Richmond every day for 4 years in the late 70s and then into the City for 2 years after that and poor behaviour was everywhere. Swearing, fighting, drunk people, I was regularly offered drugs etc. And this was one of the better behaved lines.
I have travelled on subways in New York and through South Central LA and felt much safer than I did going to school in Melbourne back in the 70s.
I also agree with Stuart, violence is NOT the answer, unfortunately I do not know what is.
