A bus driver was sacked from her job after reportedly stopping her double decker to remove a frog from the road. Christina Pommerel said that management at German bus company RBO had advised her to simply drive over the creatures in the future following a passenger complaint.

Bosses then apparently sacked the 46-year-old when she said that her conscience would not allow her to. "It was in the middle of the road so I slowed down and put on the hazard flashers. Then I climbed out and put the frog in a box so I could take it to the side of the road and let it free," Pommerel explained.

"They told me I should have squashed the frog and not stopped. When I said I couldn't do that I was fired." Pommerel, who is originally from France, had been working for the company in Regensburg for 13 years before she was sacked.

What a surprise, women bus drivers are useless. Always late, always take ages to let you on, and once for me got lost. Had a male driver about 10x more often, none of this has happened.

Good on her, someone with morals.

Harsh

When I first saw the title I thought that it meant she stopped at a bus stop to let a frog get on the bus.

yes me too, i hate sexist people, everyone is equal. A woman bus driver is just as capable as a male bus driver as in any other proffession, its that kind of attitude that stops women from doing the so-called "men's jobs".
