Sydney bus enforces modesty rules, banning bikinis on a local route

A Northern Beaches Council bus service in Sydney has banned boarding for passengers wearing bikinis or shirtless, citing modesty concerns. The rule, not yet added to the official code of conduct, would be at the driver’s discretion. Reactions split along generational lines, with older commuters largely supportive and others concerned about where to draw the line. The incident echoes a longstanding history of beachwear debates in the area.
