We've heard of MTA bus drivers using their vehicles as sexy expresses before...but usually the sexy part happens after work. In the video below, the bus driver seems far more concerned with roping his ladyfriend into sitting on his lap (check the :50 mark) than focusing on driving the bus. The uploader writes: "I was on the M20 from 29th street to 44th. The driver paid more attention to his girlfriend than the road. This driver had no regard for safety or [its] passengers. Why should we pay more when there is no regard for passenger safety." The other question is, why should one woman be so lucky as to get to sit on the bus driver's lap? It's only fair if we all get to.
