Transit drivers and phones

This is one big no-no!  Driving a car is hard enough, but wielding a huge bus or train while on the phone is too much.

I got onto a bus Friday night and the driver was on the phone and there was only one other person on the bus.  Neither of us said anything, but I have to admit that I was reluctant to report it since he was a “brother”.  But I am over that now and am making a written complaint about it.

This story is about a NY bus driver who was already being disciplined for photographing riders and posting to Facebook.  Now he hits and kills someone.  He was not texting at the time but he is obviously not a safe driver.  I hope he is taken of the job.

Would you report a driver who is on the phone while driving the bus?
