Ban alcohol on all public transport including boats, trains and buses.

Closed 29 signatures

What the petition asks

Ban public sales of alcohol on trains boats etc and make it an enforceable criminal offence on all public transport to drink while using services.
Rising alcoholism rates as well as public disorder offences and stress on the NHS means that travelling is no longer safe particularly in Northern poverty stricken areas.

Many European countries have a ban on drinking on public transport.

We can no longer live in denial that there is not a problem here.
