More Commuters With More Safety Ideas

I remember there was a male  bus commuter a few weeks ago that gave me a suggestion to provide better safety around our area and I must apologise to him, as I completely forgot what it was until this week it came back to me. Here it is.....that the New South Wales Government should invest in addition to having the local Police station in  Mount Druitt fully staffed, a mobile police station that is fully manned by  a very large presence of police police around the clock especially at night. Foot patrols, motorbike officers and marked and unmarked cars consistently patrolling all areas, suburb by suburb.

This suggestion is a great suggestion but in general - after discussing safety issues with a female work colleague of mine, our outcome was bring back curfews placed at night for youths walking around doing nothing to say 9pm without any adult supervision of a senior age and reduce the age for drinking alcohol consent to 21 years (which is adult age).

A female train & bus commuter I met yesterday, who's partner is a bus driver made a suggestion that when the school holidays are here all employers should take on youths for 2-3 days a week work experience in field(s) of work that they may endeavour to take up and this includes City Councils and voluntary organisations, charities. This will take youths off the streets doing nothing or they call. 'Chill' or 'Hang out' into something that is more satisfying and can lead to a prospective financially secured life  (as long as necessary studies are completed to obtain these occupations).
