An argument broke out on a De Lijn bus between Hoboken and Antwerp. A bus driver did not let a lady get out of her vehicle because she was wearing a veil: “Take off your veil, we are in Belgium,” the driver said to the lady. A reader filmed the incident and provided the images to our colleagues at Het Laatste Nieuws.

After this invective, the woman responds to him and an argument breaks out. While she wanted to exit through the front door, the back door of the bus eventually opened and the woman was eventually able to exit.

“This is something we deeply regret. Diversity and tolerance are our core values. If everything happened like this, it really is not possible and there will be appropriate consequences,” the spokesperson explained. by De Lijn, Frederik Wittock. “We have not yet been able to confirm the identity of the driver.”
