Eurobus is a firm from Slovakia whose lines have been plowing through the Košice Region there. The brand-new buses, however, are apparently unable to prevent the old-fashioned behavior of some of the firm's drivers, who are reportedly not always exactly helpful to Romani passengers.
The firm claims these incidents are examples of misunderstandings, but the eyewitness testimonies and video footage from the incidents bear witness to something else. News server Romea.cz has recorded two cases, both documented by eyewitness testimonies and video, in which drivers from the firm did not want allow Romani passengers on board.
On the company's Košice - Moldava nad Bodvou route, a Romani lady wanted to board the bus with her husband and children, but the driver refused to take them, saying he could not allow them to bring their pram on board. The family offered to fold up the pram and carry their infant, but the driver insisted on refusing.
"No other bus was available to us. The way the bus driver behaved would probably have killed you too, my husband and I were as polite as possible," the Romani lady wrote to the editors of PressTV.sk.
