(Sözcü Newspaper, 25 October 2020)

Sort of like the mark of Zorro, only in red.

In Istanbul's Ümraniye district, a woman wanted to board the 14B bus

that plies the Ademyavuz-Kadıköy route at a place where there was

no bus stop.  The driver, Yılmaz Cengiz, declined to take her aboard.

As a result, the enraged woman got into a taxi and pursued the bus,

getting out of the taxi to bang on the bus windows at the third bus 

stop ahead.

    "You think your bus is too good for me??!!"

Fearing for the safety of himself and his passengers, driver Cengiz 

pressed on without opening the bus doors.  The woman, undeterred,

got back into the taxi, quickly bought some red paint at a store (!) 

and found Cengiz's bus at the last-stop bus terminal, where she 

painted the side of the bus in red (!).  Cengiz declared that "we will 

file a complaint with the images we have from this incident!"

Appropriately, the bus route is marked in red.
