Big Brother Buses

Since I started cycling to work, I don't go on buses very often, because I don't have a travelcard.

Last time I went on a bendy bus, I was amazed by what I heard: non-stop announcements, telling you to watch out for unattended baggage, and to report any suspicious looking people.

These announcements are common on the Tube; however it's the sheer quantity of these announcements that amazed me. It seemed like there was about 30 seconds between each one - making it very difficult to have a conversation.

Does this really help the war on terrr? [sic]

Bible Quotes on Buses

I am privileged enough to live next to a main road in London. One of the bus ads that I see makes me wonder.

It is one of those Print A Quote From The Bible And The Non-Believers Will Realise The Error Of Their Ways ads.

Don't you have better things to spend your money on? Do people really see those and think "Man, reading what the Bible says that J said has made me realise what an idiot I've been all these years!".

Sorry, no sale.
