Egged investigating driver who kicked disabled man off bus

The Egged bus company is investigating one of its drivers after a video emerged of him appearing to refuse to allow a disabled passenger to board his bus.

A video of the incident shared widely on social media shows the driver of the 83 bus to Tel Aviv insisting that the man with Down syndrome, who is crying profusely, isn’t allowed to board his bus and must take the next one.

According to Channel 2, the driver denied the passenger because he did not have money to pay the fare.

But eyewitnesses say he insisted the disabled man get off the bus even when other passengers offered to pay for him.

The incident reportedly took place yesterday at the Rishon Lezion central bus station.
