A 'hero' bus driver in France reportedly kicked all his passengers off the bus after they refused to make room for a wheelchair user.
Francois Le Berre, who has multiple sclerosis, was trying to get on a bus in a Paris suburb, when the passengers already on board refused to move up and make space for his chair.
The story was shared on social media by Accessible Pour Tour (Accessible For All) on behalf Le Berre.

When translated, the post read: "Yesterday while waiting for the bus in Paris, nobody wanted to move themselves. As no one was moving the driver stood up and said 'Terminating! Everybody off!' After he came to see me and said, 'you can go up and the others, you wait for the next one'."
The post has now racked up an impressive 12,000 likes since it was shared on Wednesday, and has been flooded with comments praising the 'hero' bus driver.
"Bravo to the bus driver, but shame on the passengers," one person commented.

Another added: "Congratulations to this driver who emptied his bus to allow a disabled person to ride. Nice lesson. I hope the other passengers understood!"
Other people understandably took swipes passengers who created the situation by not moving in the first place, with many suggesting they got what they deserved.
Similarly to public buses in the UK French buses also have spaces at the front of the bus dedicated to wheelchair users.
