Yet another picture has surfaced of a Calgary Transit driver allegedly distracted behind the wheel.
The Calgary Sun reports a woman took a picture of a bus driver reading a book while driving.
A transit official says the incident, which took place last August, was dealt with but he couldn’t say what action was taken.
Meantime, transit officials now believe they know the identity of the C-Train driver photographed doing a crossword puzzle. Now they have to confirm whether the train was moving at the time the picture was taken.
According to the Sun, a close-up on the speedometer seems to indicate the train was going about 30 km/ph when the anonymous photographer took the picture.
Transit says a probe continues and could result in the driver either being reprimanded or fired.
