Social Fabric in the UK

I noticed signs like this posted all over the bus stops in London, along with others simply pleading that passengers not assault the transport staff, and it made me wonder about the state of the social fabric around something so apparently simple as public transportation.
This sign is from Edinburgh, on a bus I rode on Sunday.

I am aware of an incident in which a passenger tried to assault a TTC (Toronto) driver with a hammer, but we have yet to plaster the city reminding all our citizens that this is not acceptable behaviour.
