Yeah, thats my point. The bus service is public, so everyone should be accomodated and be comfortable, right? If we're going to mandate that a private service like cabs be regulated based on religion of the cab driver, shouldn't public services like buses definitely be regulated to accomodate various religions using them? Why is it ok to regulate cabs based on religion but not bus seating arrangements?
