That's so scummy. I hope he goes to jail, repeats that to a large group of the people he's racist towards, and enjoys his reward... Racists seem to be getting bolder and I wish something would smack them back into their holes.
It really sucks that I wouldn't be able to do much to physically protect anyone in that situation. You did so well.
Edit: I've also thought that it's really dumb to make people push the emergency button in plain view of an aggressive arsehole, especially if you're required to verbally give the carriage number or tell them the situation. Because that might draw the aggression onto the person alerting the driver and even escalate the situation. I know there's STOP IT but that's non-urgent and wouldn't get real time help
this is the other reason i did not do it
just trying to keep it low key
yup
