It is a disgraceful state of affairs when the managing director of Brighton and Hove Buses talks about operating an armoured fleet.
The recent attacks on buses - including an incident where a snooker ball was thrown through a window, injuring a passenger - have been carried out by mindless yobs.
Roger French should not have to be talking about windows covered with metal grilles to fend off would-be attackers.
The pathetic creatures who think it is funny to throw things at buses must be severely punished when caught.
Otherwise, they will have gained a victory if increased security measures are used as an excuse to put up fares.
