In Portland, the transit union fights TriMet when a bus driver who runs over and kills two people is fired.

In Chicago, for some reason, a bus driver resigned suspiciously quickly after running over a snowman. A frickin’ snowman! Constructed in the middle of the road by college students for the express purpose of being run over! Some people are arguing that hitting the snowman was a safety hazard. WTF. At least there’s a hilarious video:

Sarah Shay Mirk reported on transportation, sex and gender issues, and politics at the Mercury from 2008-2013. They have gone on to make many things, including countless comics and several books.

  1. Dollars to donuts this bus driver applies for disability on the grounds that he was traumatized by hitting a human-esque figure in the road and is now no longer able to do his/her job.

  2. Don’t know why I’m assuming it was a male driver…men enjoy running over things more than women do? The bus driver hasn’t been identified anywhere that I looked.
