Here is my response to them

Don't ban cell phones on city buses
Imagine you're on a bus. You're on your way to work. Or maybe you're on your way to meet your friends. Either way, an accident has occurred on nearby streets, and there is a traffic jam.
You would like to call your employer or your friend to notify him/her that you might be late.
However, that would not be allowed if cell phone use is banned on the bus.
To those who want to ban cell phones on buses, do you want to ban bus riders from talking to each other? Or are you jealous because someone has a cell phone and you don't?
