Canada driver who nicknamed school bus ‘Lolita’s Line’, wore schoolgirl outfit on the job fired after viral post

A Canadian school bus driver who wore a frilly schoolgirl outfit while dropping off children in the yellow bus named “Lolita’s Line” was fired after a post capturing the mind-boggling encounter with the driver went viral last week.

In the video, the driver lingered just outside the bus door dressed in a full lolita costume with knee-high stockings and a skirted pink schoolgirl uniform complete with a gaudy bow.

A nearby group of adults berated the driver for their obscene outfit choice and even stranger sign pasted on the vehicle.

“You picked up the kids dressed like that?” one person in the video asked. The driver, seeing no issue, just answered “Yep.”

“Why do you call your bus the Lolita Line?” another concerned person asked repeatedly as the driver just sauntered back into the yellow school bus and drove off.

“Hide your children! Look up the meaning of Lolita and you will understand soon enough! Normalizing [pedophilia] here in Woodbridge disguised as inclusivity! Canada has fallen and time to act,” the woman who recorded the video wrote.

While the term “Lolita” is often associated with the Japanese subculture and style that takes inspiration from Victorian-era fashion and meshes it with Rococo art, it first originated in the 1955 novel “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov.

The Nabokovian Lolita refers to the novel’s protagonist, 12-year-old Dolores Haze, who is groomed, kidnapped and repeatedly sexually abused by the adult narrator for two years. It was inspired by the real-life story of Florence “Sally” Horner’s disappearance after a friend’s father and convicted pedophile abducted the then-11-year-old in 1948.

Sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, which he and his guests allegedly used to have sex with underage girls while traveling, was nicknamed the “Lolita Express”.

The York Catholic District School Board, which contracts buses including the “Lolita Line” assured parents that it took swift action after staff brought the matter and viral video to their attention.

“The company quickly addressed this situation with its employee, and the driver will no longer provide busing to and from the school. The company has assured the YCDSB that this would not be an issue at any YCDSB school going forward,” a spokesperson for the school board wrote in a statement obtained by the National Post.

“All bus drivers in Ontario are required to pass a Vulnerable Sector Check with their local police department and they receive extensive training before transporting students. The YCDSB followed all of its child protection procedures after this incident.”

The Vulnerable Sector Check is an additional background search done by police to ensure potential employees in spaces with authority over children don’t have any prior sexual offenses, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The spokesperson added that in Ontario, school busing is provided by third-party companies.
