During the inspection, it was discovered that a man had placed a sign in the bus operating on route No. 22, indicating that women should sit in the front and men in the back. He took this action unilaterally, based on his personal beliefs.
As a result, he received a disciplinary reprimand. Preventive discussions were also conducted with other city bus drivers to prevent similar incidents in the future.
