Segregation Bus: German driver tells Gambian man front seats ‘reserved for white people’

A German bus driver made national headlines for hurling racist abuse at a Gambian national boarding his bus. 

The driver repeatedly insulted the man, who had to sit in the back of the bus, because the front seats were for “white people.”

Things could have been worse for the Gambian national, according to the Suddeutsche Zeitung. The bus was en route to the Dorfen train station, near Erding, when the African man tried to board. 

He was first denied entry until a local woman stood up to defend him. The driver had no choice but to allow the Gambian aboard, but only if the man took a seat in the back, because the “front seats are reserved for white people.”
