I hope the low-life coward is caught, named & shamed, made to pay compensation to the driver, then given a hefty prison sentence. Unbelievable & yet more evidence of law & order breaking down. They need 2 bring back bus conductors with martial arts

Is it not the case that Bus drivers are not allowed to refuse to let a passenger on a bus because he/she has no mask? Any trouble and police must be called. I have no sympathy for that driver.

Right or wrong ? Is it worth the stress of arguing about it , then risking violence with an injury . I work in retail
