In Konin, a bus driver with children was riding on a pedestrian and bicycle path. A cyclist who recorded the man breaking the law was insulted and pushed off the road. The police are already looking into the matter.
The incident occurred on Monday at the pedestrian-bicycle link in Morzysław in Konin. “A bus driver – riding on a bike path – hits a cyclist and drives away,” wrote Rowerowy Konin, which posted a recording showing the entire incident.
“Don't take pictures of me, I'm taking the kids”
It shows a cyclist riding uphill, only to be hit by a bus driver at the end of a pedestrian-bicycle path. The cyclist rides into the middle of the road to prevent him from continuing.
– Don't take pictures of me, I'm transporting children – she hears from the driver.
– What do I care – replies the cyclist.
As the bus driver begins to reverse, the cyclist starts to move. The bus driver then decides to move forward, calling the cyclist vulgar names and pushing him into the side of the vehicle, and then drives away from the scene.
“He shamelessly took a shortcut”
In the comments under the recording, Internet users explain why the bus driver probably behaved like that. “The reason is the bridge renovation. The guy brazenly took a shortcut instead of taking a detour,” we read.
They also point out that the bus's driving could have damaged the road. “This is a road only for cyclists and pedestrians for a section of several hundred meters and it's very downhill. If cars start driving there, the road will fall apart immediately. This is not a road for cars!” – wrote one of the Internet users.
“The case has been reported to the police” – reports Rowerowy Konin.
– We received a report on this matter. Based on the received material, we initiated explanatory proceedings. The participants of the incident will be questioned – informed junior cadet Sylwia Król from the City Police Headquarters in Konin.
Carrier: It's my business
The name of the carrier is visible on the bus. We contacted the owner of the company, asking about the consequences for the employee. – What consequences I impose on the drivers is my business. I have considered this situation, I have resolved it – Paweł Waleriańczyk replied to us, and then hung up.
