"About four" Wave Transit drivers suspended without pay

its not that we are taking over the road, we take up all the space to avoid an accident. but then we have drivers behind that are in such a hurry and come around that bus not knowing what's going on in front on us. especially down market st. and most ter accident out there ame not because of the bus remember that. there are also drivers out there with a license that don't really need to have one but u do anyways. but who are we to say anything about. but u are all entitled to your opinion. but until you your self work for the wave you will never know. its not an easy task to under pressure. especially when they are out to get you. yes there is a new management but its still the same people that work for first transit except for general manager terry thompson. now i understand the frustration you al have with the change of the route. but there is nothing as a driver that we can do. cause as drivers and passengers we are frustrated with the change also but we do what we can. so please let me be the first to te

The school bus drivers in Brunswick County do this all the time. I have seen it many times.

Most of the Wave drivers I have encountered have driven like they own the roads. It's about time they are taught some responsibility! They are not riding around in their own personal car, they are public transportation, which means they should have high standards for their performance.

The majority were suspended for a second offense. I've often wondered why it was so hard to navigate around the city buses in traffic... now I know why.

Now if only they can be suspended for driving recklessly, slowing traffic and being a major inconvenience to society. As long as we're at it, we might as well just shut the WAVE down since it's so poorly managed.

They should be fired. They have no concern for the safety of others. My UPS guy is on his cell phone every single time he comes to my house. He never puts it down. I have watched him almost drop my big boxes while trying to juggle his phone. He stays on it , gets back in the truck and takes off while still holding it to his ear. Every single time.
