The scale of violence on London's buses is revealed today. An average
of eight crimes such as stabbings, sexual assaults and beatings are
reported each day - as well as 160 cases of criminal damage, fights,
fare disputes and drunken clashes.
Seems pretty reasonable - with 2-3 million bus passengers per day (c.
2 billion journeys per year, most of which are returns), a 0.0084%
chance of being a victim of any crime, and a 0.00042% chance of being
a victim of serious crime, are pretty good odds.
Well yes, but what does the man standing at the back of the Clapham Omnibus
think?
