San Francisco's Mayor Suggests Bus Riders Read Paper Books to Deter Electronic Theft
In attempt to deter electronic theft, San Francisco’s Mayor, Ed Lee, and the city’s Police Chief, Greg Suhr, are urging readers to use paper books. The campaign, named Eyes Up, Phones Down, is hoping to reduce the city’s prevalent electronic thefts to zero.
In a statement, Suhr suggested that paper books were not targets for thieves, and therefore, much safer for public transit:
Nobody’s stealing books. If people would read a book while they’re on Muni instead of looking at their electronic device, we could get our robberies down to nothing.
