VIOLENT and rowdy youths who terrorise passengers on buses should have their free travel cards confiscated, according to London mayoral candidate Boris Johnson.

Mr Johnson said young people would value their free Oyster cards if there was a risk of losing them.

"Kids who want to get back the privilege of free travel have to do some kind of community service, voluntary service, graffiti removal or painting a community centre shed, whatever it happens to be," he added.
