A dispute over a seat between two female passengers on an İETT bus in the Tuzla district of Istanbul turned into a verbal attack on a headscarf. Those moments were captured by a passenger's mobile phone camera on the bus.
In the footage shared on social media, which was said to have been recorded on a municipal bus operating on the Tuzla-Tepeören line, it was seen that the argument that started inside the bus quickly escalated.
THE DISPUTE ESCALATED
The tension, which appeared to have started due to the issue of stopping in the bus aisle and blocking the way, showed the parties reacting to each other loudly. During the argument, one of the women drew attention with her verbal expressions directed at the other.
WORDS AGAINST THE HEADSCARF
In the footage, one party was heard saying to the other, “I will teach you to be a lady if you keep quiet. Take off the scarf on your head first, then it will be clear.”
PASSENGER'S REACTION
A passenger reacting to these words stated that the headscarf was unrelated to the issue, saying, “What does my scarf have to do with it? Driver, give me the license plate.”
