Ken Hoffman takes a jab at METRO in his Q&A column:
My question is this — why do you never see a Metro bus pulled over getting a traffic ticket? Those drivers perform more dangerous maneuvers on a daily basis than half of Houston combined! I see Metro bus drivers disobey traffic lights, perform lane changes with little regard to safety, and literally running right-of-way traffic off the road! Are they immune to the traffic laws that govern the Hondas and Chevys of Houston or is it just me?

A: I’ve noticed bus drivers driving like maniacs, too. It’s almost like one bus driver would have to smash into another bus driver to get a ticket. Uh, wait, that actually happened.
Any vehicle with the METRO logo affixed scares me, frankly.
