AC Transit - East Oakland - Girls Fight On Bus

Ok. First, you wonder what this is doing here on this blog. Simple. It's a part of life in Oakland, just as much as Lake Merritt Farmer's Market, Whole Foods Market, Salsa dancing, or any of the good things about this city. This is one of the bad aspects of it, and one reason I avoid riding AC Transit and drive the car -- even with these high gas prices.

Sorry, but someone's got to get their kids under control. This is terrible.

I've seen far worse when I lived in Hunter's Point. They don't really have parents, unfortunately. Just temporary caretakers. Like so many kids with problems.

This is an unfair assessment of the service AC Transit provides to the community. These youth would have no other way to get around.
The bus is the best example of the community we have in Oakland. Meaning, it is much more of a "melting pot" then the diverse view one gets when walking around the lake. People from all walks of life ride the bus and all must interact in that space.
And more times than not, people FROM the community will break up a fight, intervene in an argument, or tell someone to stop talking so loudly on their phone. Communal responsibility.
