B.C's Coast Mountain Bus Company has been flooded with calls of support for a driver under investigation, after video footage captured him retaliating against an unruly panhandler.
"We've had a number of people call us, mainly through our customer information line, and a lot of it is in support of our operator," said company spokesperson Doug McDonald.
The driver has 28 years of experience and the company said he is embarrassed by the incident. On Friday, he was allegedly spat on and lost his temper.
The passenger accused of instigating the confrontation is a known panhandler, with a reputation for aggressive behaviour.
"This guy, he can push your buttons," said downtown resident David Smith.
CTV British Columbia tracked down the panhandler at the Coal Harbour seawall, and asked why he started the confrontation.
The panhandler said he had a valid fare, and that none of his spit hit the driver so he should not be accused of assault.
"I spat, and the spit landed on the floor and the change box," he said.
