A bus driver has been praised and said to “deserve a pay rise” after they booted a passenger off the bus after hearing a vile slur.
Footage appears to show a bus driver shepherding a passenger off of a bus at Rochdale bus station.
In the TikTok clip which has been viewed nearly three million times, the driver confronts the man who allegedly called a disabled passenger a “r*****”, Manchester Evening News reported.
The transport worker can be heard informing other staff members about the sickening slur used to describe people with a disability.
The video caption read “respect to the driver [for] defending disabled passenger” and other social media users flocked to praise the driver’s actions.
Nolan Vickers said: “Total respect to the driver… and if his bosses are watching… the man deserves a pay rise.”
Roys Mowing added: “Needs a medal, the big man is all mouth. Respect, driver.”
And Karl Jarrett831 also praised the driver: “Not many people stand up for the vulnerable so my hat goes off to this man 100 percent respect more people need to follow in this man’s actions.”
However, one user called Otto said the driver should not have repeated the vile insult the passenger allegedly used.
They commented: “Bus driver shouldn’t have been saying the slur but really good on him for defending the passenger so hard, as he should.”
