MAYOR ORDERS INQUIRY ABOUT SHUTTLE INCIDENT

The company that runs the shuttle service to the Albuquerque Sunport's rental-car center is apologizing after a driver allegedly ordered a gay couple to sit in the back of the shuttle bus. Standard Parking Inc. says it respects the equal rights of all customers and doesn't tolerate discrimination of any kind. The company also says the employee was suspended after the company learned in July of the late June incident. According to a police report, one of the men involved said they'd been holding hands and that the driver ordered them to the back when one of them started to sing. Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry has ordered the city's Human Rights Office to look into the incident.
