No one was surprised and when she did it she knew she would be arrested and fined. She paid a fine of five dollars. That evening the churches met and King called for the boycott of the buses. The boycott lasted longer than anyone expected and for many people it was hard for them to get to work. The population of African Americans were the biggest group of riders for the bus services. They had to get a bus from their section of town to the white section and that required using the bus.
