    That depends on the situation. It’s a judgement call but it has some risk.

    You have no idea of the person's frame of mind or why they feel a need to swear and be offensive. Never put yourself in the position of confrontation with a stranger on a bus or anywhere else.

    Many people today react in a negative way. Don’t put yourself on the receiving end of their reactions. It’s just not worth it.

    It should be a policy of the bus lines to have the right to remove the offender and if not then let it be.

    Sad for children to be exposed to this but better they still have a parent at the end of the day.
