“Bus conductor fired after disrupting services by halting off designated stops” should be the headline.
Are they really supposed to allow abruptly halting public services for the whims of two passengers now? What the fuck is the department supposed to do, delay the buses and just ask the working passengers with time commitments to fuck off every time someone in the bus wants to pray?
This story is shite and the editors should be ashamed of making it a religion issue.
The bus department’s decision was correct and not even remotely related to religion.
Looking it up - Kaushambi to Bareilly, the route the bus was on, is a 5 hour drive. We’re not talking about city buses with 2 minutes between each stop. Long distance routes like that generally give the driver the discretion to decide where and when to stop for toilet breaks, etc. Nobody is going to object to a break of a few minutes.
In other words, this would have been a perfectly normal rest break if not for the religious aspect. So no, the editors are not wrong.
