“You won’t feel like you’re in China when you’re on our buses,” the ad promised in a section that touted being able to ride home with “passengers like you.”
A firestorm quickly erupted over the ads, and the company issued a quick apology.
“We made a remark based on the fact that our competitor mostly handles Chinese international students,” the company said in an apology sent over email. “The remark is being interpreted as a slap in the face of all non-caucasians for some reason, and that it not how it was intended.”
