Topic: London Assembly calls for buses to carry stab kits
Meta started this discussion 3 weeks ago #133,659
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq6qjzjvdqroCalls for bleed kits to be installed in every major bus station and on bus routes in areas affected by serious violence have been backed by the London Assembly.
Assembly Members unanimously passed a motion requesting that Transport for London (TfL) to work with the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to ensure the kits will be made available across the network.
Bleed control kits help stem severe bleeding from deep wounds before emergency services arrive – a "potentially valuable method of saving lives".
The motion is non-binding, which means the mayor is not obliged to implement the recommendation. TfL has said it does not plan to promote bleed kits citing guidance from the NHS.

Wouldn't it just be easier to ban knives on buses?

> young Londoners are more likely to use the bus and are disproportionately affected by serious violence, particularly knife crime.
Who's knifing all the young Londoners? Is it old Londoners? People from outside of London?

This kind of thing doesn't happen in America, it's just too risky, the would-be victim would pull out their piece and stop the assailant.
