Sometimes, children on the bus can be really really annoying

Instead of letting young children ride the bus for free, I think that Metro should, instead, charge parents to let their kids ride. By as much as ten times the standard fare, perhaps. If standard fare is $1.25, charge $12.50 for each child someone brings with them to ride the bus. For peak times it would be $15.00 per. Metro might not make a killing off of this plan, but honestly, I don't give a crap about that. All I care about is that it would greatly thin out the number of small children who rather frequently ride the bus. I find it absolutely amazing just how big of a headache I can attain during a short, ten minute bus ride. But then, when there are multiple screeching, shrieking banshees children on the bus, those ten minutes can seem like ten hours.

I don't mind children normally, but damn...
