haha! hear the story from a passenger on the bus
after being kindly asked to move, instead of saying no, she jumped up, took out a camera ready to take pictures of men screaming at her, but none did, so she started shouting that she will sing & undress to make the journey interesting, so the driver called the police to shut her up!!!

Everythin has been taken out of context, most time the women anyway take the 2nd door because they have carriages! And btw the back always has more room! For some odd reason there ‘mens’ department is always full!
