Many people are complaining of distracted TTC drivers. TTC drivers are being caught texting, talking, or even doing sudoku puzzles behind the wheel. The number of complaints this January have doubled since last January. In January 2010 there were 48 complains of distracted drivers this January 2011 there were 81 complaints of distracted drivers. TTC officials have told driver that they could be fired for using cellphones for any reason while they are on duty. All drivers that have had complaints are investigated and the decision is made on a case-by-case basis. Then they make a decision and if the driver is guilty he is relieved of his job without pay pending the outcome. I think that this is really bad because people taking the bus have to feel safe while they are in the bus. They will not feel safe if the bus driver is distracted while he is driving. They have to fix this because people will not take the bus if they see this because they will not feel safe. I know that this makes me uncomfortable to take the TTC after hearing all these complaints from people. They should really take this more seriously or there business will go down.
