USA Bus Lines

Can I bus driver not allow a homeless guy on a bus?

I was on a King Metro bus in Washington heading towards Seattle and the bus stopped in front of a mall. One guy got on the bus and said, "Wait driver, there's a guy coming " So the bus driver looks in the mirror and realizes its a homeless guy and then quickly closes the door. The bus driver tells the ppl on the bus, "He's homeless and he will stink the bus." Can a bus driver do that? Is this discrimination? Can a bus driver say no to a homeless guy who has 2 bucks to get on?

1. no he cant. if the guy has money to pay for the ride then he has to let him on. if he doesnt, well i still think he has to let him on. hes homeless. thats descrimination.
2. Probably not. But, if I was on the bus, I would be glad that he did. I would not to ride with a crazy stinky person.
3. how do you know he had the fare? this guy is pulling this stuff all the time on the bus driver/dont worry about it
4. actually that's called racism : [ i'd call the bus department and let them no one of there drivers has racism against homeless people remember they are people to and might not of been homeless a few months ago :) and if you wanted a yes or no answer my answer is no they are not aloud to turn anyone away . and yes its discrimination.
5. No, but he did you a favor if you had to sit next to him.
6. of course he cant do that. that is discrimination. Some one should had told him to shut the fck up and let him in.
