how was the driver racist?

She gets on the bus and the driver starts driving.

She presses the bell and the bus stops?

What's the problem here?

The driver acted like a prick with regards to what he said but what exactly was her problem?

I also find it ironically racist to accuse him of racism.

Any advice on a course of "legal" action....anyone..??

On what grounds ?

No evidence of racism here apart from the bus driver's own colleague and your own tone.

Are you going to sue Dublin Bus because a driver swore at your niece?

Good luck with that.

he also told her that the particular drivers from "this " country have very little respect for women..

This is the only instance of racism I can see in the OP.

Very dangerous road to go down when you start attributing any case of rudeness as racially motivated with no proof.

No. 10 bus?

I think you mean sexist rather than racist driver.

To be honest I would just lodge a complaint against the driver to his employers rather than going down the legal route. It will come down to her word against his.

I understand it was very upsetting but to be honest I don't feel it warrants the legal route.

Where do I start.....

Let's start with facts, the No. 10 bus was withdrawn months ago and there is zero evidence of racism in your story, we don't even know if it's your niece or the bus driver was the foreigner.

You get on a bus, the driver closes the doors and pulls away and if you're not sitting down at that stage, you hang on to the rails, that's how buses works in Dublin and everywhere else.

Edit: The OP has just removed his entire post .
