The bus driver in question was filmed by a passenger allegedly “getting busy” behind the wheel during the busy evening commute. The driver was caught on cell phone video “red handed” as MSN put it just as the packed bus was entering the Lincoln Tunnel en route to New York City on June 24.
According to the New York Daily News, “A grossed-out rider shot a cell phone video of the driver in heat, as he steered with one hand — and at times no hands… [the driver] was completely exposed during his solo performance and apparently experienced tunnel vision as he chugged through the Lincoln, according to the rider’s video. When his one-man act finally climaxed, his hands were too
full to notice he was caught on video.”
NJ Transit says it “removed” the driver (which apparently means he was suspended or terminated), and police reportedly have charged the driver with lewdness, reckless driving, and causing or risking widespread injury or damage.
Yesterday, the New Jersey Star Ledger reports, the bus company apologized to those passengers “who witnessed this disturbing episode” and added that “the bus operator in question was immediately removed from service without pay, as a result of this disturbing and grossly irresponsible conduct.The incident was also promptly brought to the attention of NJ Transit Police, who immediately launched a criminal investigation. As a result, the operator has been charged with three separate criminal offenses — including one for risking widespread injury.”
The female librarian who shot the cell phone video of the masturbating driver from the first row of the bus has retained a lawyer. The attorney declared that the bus driver put the passengers in the bus as well as commuters in other vehicles in unspeakable danger. He was totally exposed as he navigated through the tunnel, the attorney added, and that “This would be an affront to any individual if this happened in front of them.”
