After recent violence on MTA buses, some patrons are wary but unwilling to give up their transportationBaltimore,Maryland,USA -The Baltimore Sun, by Madison Park -December 30, 2007: -- ... For some passengers, the bus is their only way around town... When asked about her thoughts on bus security, Elaine Tomlin shrugged... "I have to use it because I have no other way," said the 50-year-old from West Baltimore. "I got to go where I got to go, so I got to ride the bus"... The buses are busier on weekdays, when there are commuters traveling to and from work and students going to school... Many bus riders blame unsupervised youth for causing trouble on the MTA buses... Others make it a point to avoid the bus at after-school hours when buses are packed with children and teenagers. Clarence Lewis, a 56-year-old passenger on the No. 15 bus, waits about half an hour to an hour after work to avoid riding in a bus full of kids...
