Metro opens doors — to bus drivers fired for misconduct.
The Washington Examiner reports that a driver fired after his bus crashed into a minivan taxi carrying a family of four, resulting in the death of the father, has been rehired. Ditto a driver fired for punching a police officer dressed as McGruff the Crime Dog.
The Examiner said the driver involved in the fatal crash is “getting paid to sit at home while the agency determines where to place him.”
Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said Metro believes driver Ronald Taylor “ran a red light and we define that as a major preventable accident. Unfortunately, the arbitrator saw it differently.”
