I will say it is funny that most of society that comments on these message boards or on these youtube videos would applaude this. But when it comes down to it in real life and court he will be the one in trouble most likely. Are internet people not decision makers in real life? Do we not have a voice?

She did push him first, so i doubt he'll get charged with assault. If anything it would be ruled a fight, but since he did it in capacity of his job he'll probably be fired. Though she could have added endangerment charges of some sort for interfering with public transportation.

Yeah, I think they're both in the wrong here.  She should be prosecuted pretty hard on more than one count, but the driver did come after her to turn it into a fight.  All he had to do was park the bus and call the police and she would have been in deep trouble.  He probably should be fired for not handling the situation in the correct manner, I'm sure there are guidelines.

However, I have no sympathy for the girl.  Once you begin a physical altercation, you've just waived any social immunities you might otherwise have.  Women are not children, they don't get to assault someone without consequence.  Equality is not a one way street.
