A driver made "Swedes" and "foreign-looking" people travel on separate buses between Stockholm and the Eckerölinjen ferry terminal in Grisslehamn.
The divisions happened on several occasions on Wednesday and Thursday at Stockholm's City terminal (Cityterminalen), reported newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN) on Saturday.
The bus passengers were travelling to catch the ferry to the Finnish archipelago island of Åland.
"It was a very unpleasant experience… It felt like we were on our way to Arlanda airport to be deported from Sweden," one of the passengers, Samer Chatila, told DN.

They noticed that all "Swedish-looking" passengers were being directed to a different bus, while everyone who boarded their bus was foreign-looking or dark-skinned.
"We felt insulted, offended and discriminated against," said Chatila. "I never thought this could happen in our Sweden."
When they challenged the driver, he told them that if they did not like the system they could get off the bus. Full story...
