Bangkok bus bust-up: Dismissed driver’s fare share of woes

[webfact]

 

A bus driver has been dismissed following an incident in which a young man claimed he was verbally abused and forced off the bus. The driver, who said he was afraid of dismissal, confirmed he had been let go by the company.

 

The incident occurred on Route 1013, between Hua Takhe and Seacon Square, and was posted on the popular page Silk Must Survive. The driver ordered the young man to sit and yelled at him.

 

“If you don’t sit down, if you don’t listen to me, get off.”

The young man was unable to sit due to his bag and a lack of available seats. The driver then went to record the day’s events at Lat Krabang Police Station. The company has since dismissed him.

The incident then escalated leading to Yothin’s dismissal by the company. He is now waiting for his last pay cheque and plans to meet with the young man involved in the incident at their lodging this evening.

… and tomorrow's story will be a familiar one...

For the love of god, Thaiger, stop with the tortured puns. 

 

as for this remark, why? What point would that serve?

Would that be the driver's uniform he appears to be wearing in the picture?
