These 2 incidents(and others) suggest there may be a problem with Metro's hiring policies. Patronage?

There is a major problem with Metro. It starts at the top. The head of Metro lied on her resume. When caught the board let her keep her position and added a raise. It must trickle down to the drivers.

Massive head injuries?

Perhaps they need to hire EMS people who have bus drivers licences.

This guy was damned if he did / damned if he didn't.

"Metro policy calls for bus drivers to summon help immediately after an accident and to assist the injured "as possible," said Metro spokesman Ken Connaughton."

It would seen he did that.

As far as his driving? I imagine he will be walking [& looking over his shoulder for busses] for a while.

Mr. Sheppard has been a bus driver for 19 years.

The family of the victim is just playing up their case per their lawyer's instructions for a lawsuit shakedown. What upsets me is that a socialist enterprise enjoys a $100k liability limit yet a private concern would get reamed for $10 million. How is that equal protection under the law? I think everyone should play by the same rules and have reasonable liability limits.

Jeff Kao was a young guy just starting out in his career. I was downtown Houston just last week and this other person was hit by another bus.
