I live in a city in Australia where public transport is fairly cheap, efficient and rather popular. As a result we get lots of kids taking the train to school. A little while ago the state government instituted a 50c fare for all children taking public transport to school. One of the provisos was that they stand when the train is full. Long story short, packed train and two kids still sitting in their seats. It's not the first time either. Having a trusty iPhone I thought why not take their picture and email a picture of them sitting down in a packed carriage to the school with a "I'm quite disappointed in school x. I was hoping we taught our kids better manners than this."



I'm sure some people would applaud me but I'm a bit of a fraidy cat when it comes to confrontation. Should I just do it surreptitiously (my preferred method) or should I explain myself to them and exactly what I'm doing?



Or am I just being an over reactive prick and stop caring about it?

Should I take pictures of kids who are legally required to stand on public transport and email them to school principals? Can I do this? Is there any way you think I should approach it?
