A mother and her crying baby were kicked off a bus because the female driver said she could not handle the child's screams - prompting every other passenger to leave in protest.

The driver of the No. 57 TriMet bus in Hillsboro, Oregon has been put on leave after the incident, which happened on Thursday at 8pm, when it was dark.

Fellow bus rider Jennifer Chapman, who has a 21-month-old of her own, said she got off to show solidarity with the unnamed mother, who had to wait for her husband to come and collect her.

Have you ever been thrown off or refused entry to a bus because of a crying child? Do you think public transport should be more accessible for parents? Do you think parents should travel by car to avoid upsetting other passengers?
