Bus Drivers in History
One famous incident involving a bus driver during the period of racial segregation in the United States was in 1955 when Montgomery, Alabama bus driver James F. Blake insisted that Rosa Parks give up her seat for a white male, and she refused; this began a bus boycott that ultimately ended segregation on public transportation in the United States of America.
Another famous driver pictured above is Driver Dave the friendly bus driver as seen on Facebook under the same name.
