14 year old Kissing Girls Kicked Off Bus
A transit agency chief apologized Wednesday to two teenage girls who were kicked off a city bus for kissing each other.
The girls, both 14, said the driver called them “sickos” after a female passenger complained about their kiss. The driver then stopped the bus along the street and forced them off.
“Removing the girls from the bus was not consistent with our policy,” said TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen. “I want to reiterate that we welcome all riders on our system.”
The 64-year-old driver also violated company policy that requires operators to call for assistance before removing any minors, TriMet said in a statement.
The driver, an 11-veteran who was not identified, will be disciplined, TriMet officials said, though no details were released.
“TriMet sincerely apologizes to the girls and their families for this incident,” Hansen said in the statement.
The mother of one of the girls, Ronnda Zezula, welcomed the apology.
“The only thing I had a problem with is they didn’t really address why the driver broke those policies,” Zezula said. “He knew it was wrong. He’s been a driver for 11 years.”
She also said she wished the agency had made the extent of the disciplinary action public to show it will not “be just a slap on the wrist.”
Zezula said the family has been encouraged to consider a lawsuit, but they will “have to mull it over.”

That’s so stupid! Why would they kick them off? I mean, people complain about everything nowadays… it’s like if a mother was breastfeeding her child and someone complained… they would be heartless to kick them out.
In my view, the driver’s done nothing wrong, just his job. The woman who complained on the other hand was probably over 65, and homophobic.
