The Issue
A recent spike in late-night security incidents on @@NAME@@’s public transport has commuters in an uproar. They claim young "riff raff" wielding colourful lollipops are violently rampaging through public transport, predominantly late at night, attacking innocent passengers and stealing their valuables.
1- "The solution is simple," regular commuter and avid public transport user @@RANDOMNAME@@ proclaims. "Just cancel late-night services. They're inefficient and a waste of money - hardly anyone uses public transport at that time anyway. Sure some people will miss out, but we can use the extra money to increase services when we really need them like peak hour commute times. Majority rules, no?"
Effect: the city streets are laden with stranded citizens out after dark
2- "This isn't just on public transport, young ones are ripping through our nation everywhere running a muck," laments concerned senior citizen @@RANDOMNAME@@. "I see the young ones break into my yard every night, steal my garden gnomes and cut up my hose! What we need is a strictly enforced youth curfew! No youth around after dark would mean no pesky riff raff on public transport at night. Plus I get to keep my garden gnomes."
Effect: senior citizens no longer have to nurse their garden gnomes to sleep at night
3- "Need I remind you that not ALL young people are the problem here?" Youth Committee Member @@RANDOMNAME@@ interjects. "Punishing young people for the behaviour of a few bad eggs is just unfair and wrong. Wouldn't it be more sensible to simply add some security guards to late-night services? That ought to sort out the troublemakers - well, as long as there aren’t too many of them at once, I suppose."
Effect: public transport security guards finish their shifts with lollipop-shaped bruises
4- "Why use security when we can use the military?" suggests your hawkish Minister of Defence. "An armed soldier can surely stop a riot easier than a glorified mall cop! We should also double the amount of cameras and have TV monitors in easy to see places so passengers can see themselves being filmed. If passengers know they are being recorded they'll be less likely to cause a ruckus. Some users might complain, but only wrongdoers need be worried about being surveilled."
Effect: public transport users can receive souvenir photos of their ride thanks to the new all-pervasive camera systems
5- Your Chief of Police bursts into your office. "These people have got it all wrong, why not stop the problem at the root? Ban anyone with a criminal record, even for non-violent misdemeanors, from catching public transport. It’s easy to enforce if we overhaul the fare system and have bio-scannable public transport cards managed by the state. I'm thinking something like a ‘one strike, you’re out’ kind of policy. Anyone with a record won't get a card, first-time offenders get banned, and those thinking about breaking the rules will probably be sufficiently deterred anyway. Sound good? Next stop: utopia!"
