It wouldn't surprise me either and of course it's normal people that pay the price for it, when they can't get around and about their business using public transport.

It's a problem everywhere and sadly not limited to missiles towards buses. Some areas a lot worse than others. In my village and in Washington, there's also been spates of arson, and in particular street furniture going up a blaze. The Park were donated money for 3 noticeboards.

We know why police presence is at an all-time low, but I'm not convinced that even if the perpetrators were found, they'd receive much more than a slap on the wrists.
