Question

The bus drivers did not like the new rules and did not comply with them.

In June, Jemison sat in a seat that had formerly been reserved for white passengers; when the bus driver asked him to move, he refused. The driver drove to a police station, but the police refused to arrest him because he had not broken the law.

The bus drivers said that they didn’t want to be in the position of having to ask people to move to keep the races segregated. They preferred that there be designated seating. They also claimed that Ordinance 222 contradicted the state law that required separate compartments for races. On Monday, June 15, 1953, the bus drivers went on strike.

Answer 2

Bus drivers responded to the new rules by refusing to comply, complaining about the concept of reserved seating, and going on strike.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bus drivers responded to the new rules in several ways. They refused to follow the new rules that were intended to desegregate seating on the buses. The drivers also complained about the idea of reserved seating, expressing that they did not want to be in the position of requiring passengers to move in order to keep the races segregated, as this put them in a difficult position. Eventually, their dissatisfaction led them to go on strike on Monday, June 15, 1953, to fight against the new rules, showing their preference for designated seating rather than a more integrated bus system.
