This sentence caught my eye. Potentially eating food on a bus is a life endangering activity. How many times has your bus gone over a bump too hard? Say that happens while you have something in your mouth--choking is a definite possibility. Or like someone pointed out above--what if the kid had hit the end of the stick on something when the bus came to a sudden stop and injured himself? What if a woman has a very hot cup of coffee and spills it on someone, causing burns? What if someone in the bus is allergic to what you're eating and has an anaphylactic reaction? If someone were trying to eat cooked shrimp on that bus, my roommate would be in a world of hurt--and the medical bills the eater would face from the incident would certainly add up to more than a $300 fine.
