He suffered a surge of verbal abuse and hatred.

"I've been a driver on the network for 5 years and I've never known that", testifies the driver to "Parisien".
It was around 10:20 a.m. when the latter saw a man of “35-40 years old” running after the bus and signaling to stop, when he had just left the Anatole-France college stop.
Respecting the instructions prohibiting him from stopping “out of stop”, the driver continues on his way.
But a few minutes later, he finds the individual at the high school level, where he drops passengers.
"He said to me: do you think it's your mother's bus"
"He said to me: you think it's your mother's bus", recounts the victim.
The situation is quickly tense.
The man then insults him as a "son of a bitch" but also as a "dirty slave" and a "dirty black" on several occasions.
"Come down, I'm going to kill you," the user also allegedly told him.
“Usually I'm a very cool and very open person.
I have never had an altercation with a passenger.
But there, I cracked and I ended up insulting him too, ”reports the driver, who will eventually get all the passengers off and end his service.
“Shocked”, he warns his superiors that he will withdraw and file a complaint.
“We are not robots, we are tired of being treated like that”.
"We strongly condemn the comments made by this user", reacts Mathieu Le Bras, director of the RATP Dev network, who generally regrets "unfortunately recurring insults".
