no-saggy pants on Fort Worth buses

[Doomsday101]

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Bus riders in Fort Worth who wear sagging pants have the choice of pulling them up before boarding or finding another way to get around the city.

The Fort Worth Transportation Authority's updated dress code lets bus drivers turn away passengers whose pants sag below the waist.

Joan Hunter, a spokeswoman for the system known as the T, says it's about respecting everyone who chooses to ride city buses.

"It's not like they have to go home," Hunter said. "They can just pull it up. It's to be respectful of other riders."

Posters are being placed on buses and billboards to let riders know that saggy pants are not acceptable, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Tuesday.

The no-saggy pants campaign began in August 2008, but the T recently made an administrative change to its dress code giving bus drivers authority to deny boarding to violators, Hunter said.

I hope there are some undercover policemen on those buses to help backup the drivers.

Yet hipsters with crotch bulge enhancing girl pants and women with lots of clevage showing will get no grief, just sayin.

Exactly, that could get out of hand real quick.

On Metro North rail here in NY; if you assault a train conductor, you get seven years in prison.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Will Thomas Bruso{aka epic beard man}be there to enforce the policy?

 

[Doomsday101]

So pretty much if you don't like the rule then attack? :laugh2:

I guess the lesson is don't put rules into place because someone may get upset.

I don't think it can reasonably be explained on other grounds. As urface59 astutely observes, public transit authorities don't purport to regulate the amount of cleavage a women can show.

Problem is whites and hispanics youth wear the saggy pants as well. If does not say black kids it says saggy pants.

They won't let you on the bus if your on display so yes they do.

People should be able to carry a taser gun around and shoot anyone who does that.

Really? Is there evidence that women will not be allowed on a bus if they're showing cleavage? I don't live in the Fort Worth area, so I don't know. Do you?
