The US Supreme Court held segregation in public transportation is unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause its decision for Gayle v. Browder, (1956).

The Browder case specifically arose from policies of the City Lines Bus company in Montgomery, Alabama, where African-Americans held a year-long boycott of bus services. This was not Rosa Parks' case, which was bogged down in the state court system, but a class action suit naming four African-American women who had received the same bad treatment Ms. Parks did from the Montgomery bus company.

The Supreme Court upheld the US District Court's decision without issuing a full opinion on the case.
