Bus passenger wanted to stop bus to pray

A pssenger on a long-distance bus in Turkey asked the driver to stop the bus to give per a chance to say prayers. (This can't be done sitting on a seat.) The bus driver refused, saying it would be unfair to delay the other passengers. This has created a nationwide controversy.

As you might expect, I agree with the bus driver. A passenger's wish to pray is not an emergency, so the bus should keep its schedule.
