One bus driver sent back to driver's ed for nearly flattening bicylist, but others continue to ignore red lights
By adamg - 2/4/10 - 9:01 amGrimlocke, who was nearly pancaked by a 66 bus last week reports swfit action by the MBTA:
I apologize for reckless driving exhibited by one of our employees. MBTA Bus operators must complete a comprehensive Defensive Drivers Course prior to being certified to operate an MBTA vehicle in passenger service. This operator has been identified and will be re-instructed on her duties and responsibilities as a professional driver
So that's one down, because she also reports watching another 66 driver blast through the very same intersection:
... As I watched the light turn red, my body exhibiting the intent to scoot out into the intersection at a moment's notice, I became aware of a growing roar from my left, west on Cambridge Street. And then a sharp honk. Route 66 Bus #2294 (or 2293, it was going over 30 MPH so it was difficult to catch the number) not only roared through the intersection against a red light, but gave me warning that it had ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION OF SLOWING OR STOPPING. ...
