5-year-old boy KICKED OFF a bus for the most ridiculous reason

Amanda Little was travelling on the bus with her autistic five-year-old son Paul when the bus driver suddenly pulled over and demanded they exit the vehicle.

Amanda, 30, was travelling on an Arriva bus into Colchester, Essex, on Saturday with her young son Paul, who diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in February 2016.

The mum was keeping her son entertained by singing The Wheels On The Bus when the bus driver threw them off, leaving them "stranded" at the wrong stop.

She explained what happened to The Sun: "My son had an optician's appointment. He was sat at the back of the bus where he always goes.

"Suddenly he just started singing. All of a sudden, four stops later, the bus just stopped.

"The bus driver said, 'The lady at the back of the bus with the little boy, get off the bus please'.

"When the bus driver kicked us off he just sounded p****d off really. He said he couldn't concentrate."

Due to the sudden change in situation, Amanda and Paul were then late for their appointment.

"I'm fuming. I told my mum as well and my whole family were fuming too. It's the first time I've been chucked off a bus," she added.

She also explained that, due to Paul's autism, he enjoys singing and repetition, but struggles with speech.

"He's a very quiet child and he was being quiet on that day. Plus you could hardly hear him at the back.

"To try and see it from the driver's point of view, I suppose if there was somebody screaming then that would be an issue – but it was just a little boy singing."

An Arriva spokesperson has commented on the issue, and said: "We are committed to providing passengers with the best possible service and have been working with local bus user groups and Essex County Council to help improve bus travel for everyone in the area.

"Now that our attention has been drawn to this complaint, we will investigate it thoroughly and, if warranted, take appropriate action."
