Netherlands: Bus driver refuses service to woman in niqab

A bus driver in the Dutch city of Uden prevented a 19 year old woman from getting on his bus because she was wearing a nikab. The Connexxion bus company does not approve of the driver's behavior and apologized to the woman's husband.

The woman had a ticket and therefore Connexxion says she should have been able to get on the bus of their daughter-company Hermes. The driver might possibly be punished, reports Omroep Brabant.


19 year old Ambaro has been wearing the Muslim veil since October. When she got on a bus to Volkel, she was immediately pushed out by the bus driver because of her 'extreme clothing' she told Brabants Dagblad.
