I love threads like this- and no this is not sarcasm- really, it makes me think more about what my personal beliefs are, and also helps to articulate them... that said, I felt initialy that the fine and situation was unfair, and have subsequently figured out why- In my opinion it should not be illegal to eat on a bus, especially not a lollypop, but rather it should be illegal to damage or deface/ gum up the bus, and /or to spill something on another passenger- lets punish them when they do something that actually hurts/inconveniences someone in a noticable way, not just because they have the potential to do so- sort of a libertarian view, perhaps- It just comes down to the old " if they arent hurting anyone" rule - sure they could do so, but personal responsibility requires that we allow them the chance to fuck up- and who does'nt want more people in society to be responsible- and to all the people that have by this point said " but the busses would be filthy" they obviously have bus cops on hand- and this there would be less ground for an offending person to stand on...
