Public transport not safe

In response to the post by Devil_n_Disquiz stating that CabXpress might be to blame by not contributing to security, maybe these facts may assist:
Aerial removed their security from Alinga rank several months before CabXpress commenced operation.
Aerial attempted to oblige CabXpress to pay exactly half for the airport commissionaire, and when CabXpress declined on the grounds that CabXpress has only a fraction of the fleet with Aerial has, Aerial removed the commissionaire.

Security in public places is generally the job of the government, usually through the police force.

Someone was telling me the other day that desperate Australians drink Fosters in London because it’s the only beer that you can be certain will be served cold. So maybe that’s where they get the idea.

ctd – VB tastes like crap after the first SIP!

Ok so firstly the Govt maintain the cameras (well suppose to) and it is set up in the Police station so that it can be monitored and incidents responded too ASAP. Unfort the Govt finds the need to spend money on sports grounds and water signs rather than public safety.

Secondly there was a altercation between a male and female at the taxi rank. The cabbie stepped in and made it his own business, (prob swore a bit, which is wise when your on your own and your at a line of drunks) then the altercation moved to involved the cabbie. Then the other cabbies got involved and called for other cabs before even calling Police!

To be honest, yes the cabbies put up with a lot of crap on a friday and saturday night, but hey, if your going to try and be a hero and step in the middle of a rowdy crowd, then u deserve what you get. None of this would’ve happened if he had just called Police to deal with and carried on with his work! Oh and it didn’t help with ethic stuff either. Drunk ‘Aussie kids’ are appallingly racist.

An increase in antisocial behavior after 12 schooners?

I blame the brewers. in the old days, when you could only drink VB, getting that 9th one down was a struggle cos VB just starts tasting crap after the first 8. And so you never got to 12. Now we have tasty beers, you can drink all night. Coopers has a lot to answer for.

Stop misquoting the First Emperor of the Moon, Inventor of the Internet, author of “Earth in the Balance” (and the more successful “Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth”) like that.

He’ll give you a bag of moon sapphires if you stop.

Who’d have thunk it… An increase in antisocial behavior after 12 schooners? What is society coming to.

There’s definitely a proven link here (see Allens and Diville “Impact and consequences on the ociopathetic behavioural tendencies in the lower classes following post-ping trauma following consistent and unwearranted exposure to mindlessly placed speed cameras” ANU Press 2005$59.95).

According to the study there are an increasing number of cases of violent tendencies in people exposed to revenue-raising speed cameras, that manifests itself as anti-social behaviour following the ingestion of as little as 12 schooners or the equivalent.

So there you go, the ACT government has unwittingly contributed to the increasing violence in our community, all in the name of ‘safety’.

Stuff the cabbies.

Sure it is a hard job and they work bad hours but so do many other professions and nobody hears them having a big old sook. So why don’t they dig into their pocket just like other people and companies do and get some security. I for one am sick of watching cab drivers speeding, parking where ever they damn well feel like, talking on their mobile phones whilst driving passengers, and then having the gall to say they should be allowed to because they are professional drivers.

To top it off when you get into a cab they have no idea where they are going, sorry but I would have thought that was a basic component of their job.

But wait this is not the Cab driver’s fault it is all someone else problems. If they don’t like it quit or get changes made instead they just have a big sook. I’m not going to go into the amount of times the Cab drivers have tapped that little button and then made the pricing rate jump just because I have a had a few drinks.

I say again take some hard up tablets or get some security it is not somebody else’s problem it is their’s.

I blame those revenue-raising speed cameras. (hey i can do it too)
