This has been a long time coming, finally something has been done about the little twats causing trouble on the buses every morning. Today the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, launched the Zip Card, a free Oyster photocard that will have to be used by all them bleedin’ runts aged between 11 and 18 year olds who qualify for free bus and tram travel in London.
So what actually is the Zip Card? As of June 1st 2008 the young buggers will have to touch in on buses and trams and show their photocards on request. This means that young people aged 11+ will need to carry a validated Oyster photocard, which will entitle them to free travel on buses and trams. Not too impressive actually, I’m surprised it took this long for powers-that-be to come up with this scheme. Well I guess it is better late than never, time to catch the little runts in the act, idenitify them and lock the delinquents away for the rest of the duration of their youth (I wish). Actually what will really happen is that the Zip Card will simply be taken away from antisocial brats resulting in no more free travel.
The Zip Card scheme is simply a small step towards making London more pleasant, but at least it is progress in the right direction. Oi Ken! Keep it coming.
