For the uninitiated, the Press Bus is the caravan of charter coaches that shuttles photographers, junior editors, influencers, and styling assistants between shows at sprawling venues like Paris’s Porte de Versailles or Milan’s Rho Fiera.

The core issue surrounding this content is its potential to desensitize audiences to public harassment. For millions of commuters worldwide, crowded transit spaces are environments of heightened vigilance, where non-consensual touching is a frequent and traumatic reality.

If you experience press bus groping, take a photo of the bus license plate, the driver’s ID, and the time. Write down a description of the perpetrator. Send a private message to a friend with these details immediately, creating a timestamped record.
In this context, "groping" refers to the physical scramble for resources. Space is at a premium.
