Bring back the clippie.

Do you remember when buses had conductors? Not only did they take your fares (change given!) and give out tickets, but they also helped deal with any problems which might arise, including misbehaviour. So now all that's down to the driver - right? Well, no apparently. Drivers in this neck of the woods have been told that they should not consider intervening if there's any bother on their bus, because once out of their cab, they are no longer covered by insurance. Another good reason for avoiding public transport!
