The driver, apparently alarmed by her "aggressive" Muslim passenger, called the cops, cleared the bus, and warned the bus behind her not to pick up any of her stranded passengers.

Although he is investigating the incident, Michel Labrecque, the head of the Société de transport de Montréal, defended the driver's action because "French is the language of work" in Québec. Labrecque acknowledged that many bus drivers are bilingual, and that bilingual drivers tend to be placed on routes covering tourist areas and the English-speaking suburbs. But he also insisted that it would be against the law to require any of the drivers to actually speak English even if they can, "Ça, c'est interdite."

Bus driving is a high stress job, especially when you consider that the driver is responsible for the very lives of each passenger. So, be courteous to your bus driver cuz bus drivers are people too.

Unless there is more than what we're getting, that is ridiculous behavior.

A reminder NOT to visit Montreal!
