Bus Drivers Sleeping

A total of 67 Metrobus drivers were caught sleeping on camera while driving their buses on local roads in a 19-month period, according to data obtained by The Washington Examiner.

And one of them was caught dozing while driving twice within six months.

The incidents all occurred while the operators were behind the wheel of their moving buses, as the cameras are triggered to record the drivers only when a sudden bus movement such as hard braking, swerving or a crash occurs. The drivers were filmed with their eyes closed, nodding or sleeping between August 2010 -- when Metro started installing the cameras -- through Feb. 24, 2012, three days before The Washington Examiner requested the data.
