No wonder, whenever I get gas at the Hess on Old Colony, all of the people in T uniforms are driving fancy BMWs and Lexus...not saying all T employees are bad, i just assumed they made bank. Now I know the real deal.

No, that's because bus drivers in Boston make a ton of money without selling drugs. In fact, this particular incident is made stupider by the fact that she probably made a very comfortable living on the T's salary.

The MBTA salary is public information, quick google search reveals she made 46K in '08, the latest information I could find. Something tells me she wasn't driving a BMW off of 50 grand a year.

According to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office:

It was revealed at arraignment that the investigation began with a tip that King, a bus driver, was selling crack cocaine along her route: With apologies to The Who, the Magic Bus is being taken out of service.
