TTC investigates video of subway driver using mobile device

CBC

April 22, 2012 at 3:10 p.m.

The Toronto Transit Commission is investigating after a video popped up on YouTube, apparently showing a driver who was using a mobile device while operating a subway.

The video was posted online Friday. The train was headed south toward Bloor Station on the Yonge Street line, though it is not clear on what day the video was recorded.

TTC spokesperson Danny Nicholson told CBC News that operators are not permitted to use a cellphone while driving a vehicle. He confirmed that the TTC is aware of the YouTube video and is investigating.

Last year, the TTC reportedly fired several drivers who were caught using cellphones while driving city buses.

Russian troops enter base housing US military in Niger, US official says
Russian military personnel have entered an air base in Niger that is hosting U.S. troops, a senior U.S. defense official told Reuters, a move that follows a decision by Niger's junta to expel U.S. forces from the country. The military officers ruling the West African nation have told the U.S. to withdraw its nearly 1,000 military personnel from the country, which until a coup last year had been a key partner for Washington's fight against insurgents who have killed thousands of people and displaced millions more. A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops but were using a separate hanger at Airbase 101, which is next to Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger's capital.
