The TTC bus driver who thought he was riding the rocket for real!

This bus driver drove on nearly a kilometer westbound on `Right of Way' streetcar tracks on Queensway (Queen Streetcar Route 501). He didn't stop until he crashed into the utility pole in the middle of the track. None of the people involved in the rescue had the slightest clue as to what the driver of the bus was trying to do. Note that these new fangled Hybrid Electric Buses cost upward of a million dollars in taxpayers money.
On this same day, a pedestrian got pinned and killed on the same streetcar route. I don't know the details so I am not blaming anyone yet.

@@davidrainbowgamer1787 I believe its to keep these buses on the road longer until new buses arrive
Nice background music for FRICKING TRAIN CRASHES WTH??
it's a streetcar tracks Kayla cause Toronto trainst commission is always dangerous cause the drivers just having a bad day or tired
Perhaps it was a streetcar operator and he/she got a tad confused about what vehicle they had at the time.
eXACTOcREATION maybe it's donning the 80 Queensway

CLEARLY this driver has no sense . -__-
These buses cost $250,000 each. New. Info direct from the TTC.
Philip Rosada probably more.
No. When I went to the Hillcrest yard open house a couple of years ago, I had talked to the GM of Bus Mechanics at the TTC, and he told me they are $250,000. They are kind of a waste, because the government gave them money to but these buses, so they can't say no. (they don't like the Orion VII NG HEV because the engine burns out REALLY fast). They would have rather bought the 2008 model of the NF D40LF CNG. Trust me, these buses are $250,000. No more. No less.
There is no correlation between the model of bus and the stupidity of the person driving the bus. I don't think giving the guy in the video a GM or a 9400 would have magically prevented him from driving on the Queensway.
U don't wanna let me be a streetcar operator.... Well then fine ill make my self one. Lolol
He just wanted to be a streetcar
The YRT people are worse, they do much less work than the TTC yet they expect to be paid more. And in their strike protest, they even try to slow down the TTC commute by blocking Finch Station which is completely unreasonable.
With all due respect unless this is the driver's first day in Toronto he has no excuse. This is and has always been streetcars ONLY in the centre. There is NOTHING wrong with the Queensway car lanes. Just an example of a terrible, terrible driver.
Lord that was stupid
I have traveled this route a lot. Didn't know this happened. I am like .... yikes?
Was the driver a newbie on the job?
Hey DoubleAgent0007 you really can't judge distance well it's around 200m from where the concrete ends and its covered by snow so if youv'e never been there before you wouldn't know that the rail is elevated
How?
He was given an instructors job.
wow thats insane so he was driving on the tracks?
so THIS is why they say not to drink and drive GOTCHA
Lol that's hilarious...it looks like it's around queensway and roncies...and he didn't hit the pole, he hit the guywire somehow
Who was the driver?
oh wait i know this area its around east of The CN tower
@ Haichtee
No, That looks like an Orion VII 3rd Gen
_ it’s an Orion Vii NG Hybrid Electric Vehicle. I believe it retired recently
@@TorontoTransitFan it wasn’t retired they change they change the wallpaper that’s it in 2017
let me guess, cushy union protected his job?
lol tires could've gone flat
hell of a fucking comment this is.
Its a Orion VII hybrid
I love the song
Does the bus driver still have a job. Must been a really uncomfortable ride for passengers
It was not in service there was no passengers on board
@HurricaneNWG Nope. Hybrids don't go on the 80.
nice shot of 1543, im guessing route 80 Queensway? lmfao
@ttcgeek well i was just making a guess, thats all
Seriously? were you on the bus? was he drunk?
Wow.... just.... wow... lmao....
0:49 the streetcar says 501 so im sure its correct
the streetcar is on its way to humber somthing
