Cracking Down on Smoking on Buses
| Posted on February 2, 2010 at 12:25 PM |
Tony Dallison, National Express West Midlands said: “Smoking on buses is not only illegal but unpleasant for other passengers. We take this kind of anti-social behaviour very seriously and are delighted to have joined forces with Solihull Council to stub out smoking for good.”
Cabinet Member for Safer Communities,Councillor Mrs Holl-Allen said: “Although most travellers abide by no smoking rules, some continue to disregard the law and disrupt the journeys of others. This project will punish those that offend, in the hope of achieving completely smoke-free public transport.”
Passengers will also be able to text details of people flouting the no smoking rules to 07624 818 332. Begin the text with the word ‘bus’ and then as muchdetail as possible, for example, the bus route, time and place. Thisinformation will be used to identify and target ‘hotspots’ for smokingon the bus network.
