I always seem to wonder why the 11A/C buses have significantly more vandalism at the back of the buses compared to other routes (e.g 50)

More school kids use the 11 compared to the 50, also it connecting the "rough" areas where Roadmen and youth gangsters are found

How do you know its being done on the 11A/C? The buses do get used on other routes as well.

Please, lets not get this argument started again about 'rough areas'.
