Bus driver preaches politics
Riders of of the S2 Metrobus, a busy route that travels between Silver Spring, Maryland and downtown Washington, D.C., sometimes get a surprise: a bus driver who preaches politics. The driver, who supports Vincent Orange in the D.C. mayoral race, hands out pamphlets and chats with his passengers about the race. He even stopped his bus at one point along the route, stood in the middle of the aisle, and delivered a speech about the importance of the race. A Metro spokesman thinks the behavior is inappropriate, but the driver says he's not violating any rules. He was, after all, confident enough to cooperate with a Post reporter and photographer.
Update: now the driver has been put on leave, and Metro has circulated a memo to employees warning them that politics on the job violates a Metro policy.
