Non-Torontonians may gloss over this rant, but here goes.<\/p>\n

The TTC is having another public relations melt down. Photos of bus drivers texting while they’re driving are flooding into newsrooms (okay as of today, only 3 so far in as many days). Of course these are getting posted all over the web.<\/p>\n

You may recall the initial blow up where the Teet and the Internet came to blows over the Sleeping Ticket Taker<\/a> (rest his poor soul).<\/p>\n

Well The Teet has released the brilliant<\/em> statement that the public should stop taking pictures of their staff<\/a> to try to stem the flow of “bad imagery”. How very Egyptian. <\/p>\n

To be fair,they aren’t saying “stop reporting our drivers” because they have either video evidence or phone record access of their staff (do they?!) which can correlate with the complaint. That, to me, sounds lame. To me, it sounds like they know they have a problem and just want it to go away. <\/p>\n

The union pres for the Teet, Bob Kinnear, has verbal instructions for riders who want to confront drivers who are TXT while driving. He suggests: \u201cI\u2019d say, \u2018Do you mind not texting while you\u2019re driving from point A to point B?\u201d<\/p>\n

Uh. How about “PUT DOWN THE FUCKING PHONE!” It’s against the law to drive with an electronic device. Or did your drivers not get the memo?<\/p>\n

I say take their picture. As long as it doesn’t obstruct what minimal vision they might be reduced to, depending on the driver’s infraction. Safety first, people!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
