The buses are going to be empty if they really enforce that law.
I'm not sure I understand why it was such a big deal (according to the original article in the Bee I saw..) to banish people that can't behave properly on the bus.
I understand you have a diverse set of people riding it but that doesn't mean other people should feel ashamed, threatened, unsafe, etc.. just to please a guy that grew up on the poor side of town and can't stop dropping the f-bomb.
I realize kicking people off the bus has it's own set of issues but the fact of the matter still remains -- ride the bus properly and respectfully or get off. That simple.
