The driver said "free, free" to which the passengers replied "Palestine" – a popular chant at protests. He also reportedly told passengers he wanted to attend the march, but couldn't because of work.

"Although I can't be there, would you kindly join me as we proceed to Bond Street. To warm you guys up, here we go: free, free," he said.
