I was talking about the School Bus drivers, sorry if I wasn't clear. My personal experience with TTC drivers has been extremely positive, with the drivers avoiding many close calls over the years caused by bad motorists. I was only onboard for a TTC accident once, on an old GM Fishbowl bus ~2001, on 31 Greenwood south. Not a fault of the operator, the car pulled out of its parking spot and side swiped the side of the bus. Barely felt it. I was sitting on the right side of the bus, so I had a perfect view. There were only about 10 passengers total, no injuries, and everyone just got off and went to the next stop to wait for another bus. I was the only one that stuck around and told the operator that I can stick around as a witness, or leave my phone number. A supervisor showed up fairly quickly, I think the Danforth bus garage was still operating then so someone was close by. I gave a statement and the operator and the supervisor were thankful that someone actually stuck around, even though it was pretty obvious from the minor damage to the bus side as to what happened and who was at fault.

Oh, I didn't realize I linked the tracker. I heard the report on the scanner, and looked it up on transsee, it was indeed stopped there, and i just cut & pasted the bus number, and it pasted the link. If you want proof I'll post the scanner audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
