They're probably thinking that they'll nail 1 out of ## offenders and they'll balance the costs by making a fine appropriate to that. I can't see anyone implementing something like that unless it got passed to the tune of, "This is god damn stupid but so are you, $300 a go, you ignorant pissants." It probably built up to something like this due to even more absurd circumstances on the buses. Aside from that, it was foolish to make such a big deal out of this and refuse a $210 reduced fine of $90, the kid did after all have food on bus and did know there was a standing policy of no food on bus.
