Metro comment....I believe the name of the driver assaulted on sunday morning on the end of the line on the 2 lines is Mrs. Davis she has been driving for metro for about a year. I been told that she press the emergency button that will dispatch emergency help to the location of the bus but nobody show up. She called dispatch and was told to take bus back to West facility where there would be medical help waiting. It is my understanding that there was no such help and that she drove herself to the emergency room, where Mr. Frank Wilson made an apperance and was turned away by an angry victim. Metro is desperately trying to keep everything quite because the facts are they don't care about the safety of the drivers. They can't carry anything to protect themselves such pepperspray. Just yesterday at 4 48pm at the intersection of bellaire and hillcroft another bus driver was assulted she was making a routine stop when she was punch in the face twice battered and bruise and blood soak uniform was taken for medical attention....it does appear that the attacks on public transportation bus driver are scalind upward and there is nothing being done by the city or metro. They do a great job with damage control and buying the media outlets that report it.

p.s. the information giving to me was from a reliable source but as to any information I would strongly dig deep to see whats really going on. Also metro has a recording of the rape in questions. try getting your hands on that.

I think all Metro Bus drivings should be tested for drugs every 6mo. and alcohol breath test everyday. My Uncle about 7 years ago was hit and killed by a Metro bus on 69th St. now known as Macario Garcia Dr. from what I remember the driver of the Metro Bus kept driving then I am guessing his conscious told him to come back to see what is was he hit. Maybe they do to much over-time and are too tired to pay attention this act of what was done is unforgiven.

I am writting this e-mail to add furthur information on your articles concerning the Metropolitan Transit Authority.I first became suspicious about Metro when on 6-30-1997
I was almost arrested when a Metro employee lied on me while I was riding the #40 bus
telling Metro Police I had made a terroristic threat on the bus.The driver Brenda Chukwa knew I had not made a threat but lied through her teeth.The officer took witness statements who confirmed that the driver was lying.On 5-21-2001 I was involved in an accident in which one Metro bus struck a trolley.In 9-3-2003 I was injured when
I fell into a ditch after exiting the 86 bus to go to a doctors appointment.Metro did
not pay the claim even though I had pictures and proof.On or about 6-2007 while sitting at the bus stop at Almeda and O.S.T. the bench broke causing injury to myself and my attendant who was with me.The Metropolitan Transit Authority is nothing more than a crooked parasite on the taxpayers of Harris County and should be disbanded.
