A double-decker tour bus company has been waging all out war against a rival in Times Square — beating up its workers and harassing its customers with weed smoke and megaphones, a new lawsuit claims.
Groups of up to six workers from Top View have repeatedly blocked the entrance of Aurora’s buses while tourists were trying to board and even stood in front of the vehicles to prevent them from picking up passengers, the lawsuit, filed Monday, contends. “A young man appeared and he said he was sorry, but his job now was to demolish our business and to ensure that we didn’t survive,” Jegede recalled of how he was welcomed to the neighborhood.
Other times, the agitators would smoke huge cannabis blunts next to boarding customers, the suit claims. Jegede said his son refused to return to work in Times Square after the incident, as have many of his other employees.Owner Lister Oluwabamise Jegede says that Top View’s “relentless harassment” is making it impossible to retain drivers and other workers.The “relentless harassment” is making it impossible to retain drivers and other workers, he said.
