On October 18, 2001, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported "Bus driver disciplined for insult to Muslims." The article stated, "A Metro driver has been disciplined for posting a sign in his bus Sept. 14 that reportedly urged people to be unsympathetic toward all Muslims." Passengers complained to the bus driver about the signs: "'We said, "This is hatred,"' said Donia Love, who took the bus on Aurora Avenue North and who filed a complaint with Metro that night. 'He started telling us we hated America and were un-American.'"
