| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Yesterday 10/18/05 prtc omniride bus 147 picked up at west falls church metro in northern virginia at 5:30. the heat was on. the driver said he was trying to get the air conditioner to run and it would not put out any cool air. he said he reported to his supervisor who told him to drive the bus. you can not be held accountable for his lack of critical thinking skills (leaving the heat running trying to get it to blow out cool air), but you are accountable for putting a bus on the road that is unsafe. once we got on 66 westbound we were okay until we got outside the beltway where traffic started backing up. when the traffic started backing up and the bus had to creep along, the engine would die. this happened three times between the dunn loring and vienna metro stations. it happened approximately 4 more times before we could connect with the linton hall bus that was then able to take us into manassas. the people on the bus say that they have complained about this bus before. this bus is unsafe and should not be on the road. i am planning to report this incident to dot, also, for an investigation to see why the repair process is not sufficient enough to fix the problem and continue putting a problematic bus on the road. i instructed the driver (george) that he should refuse to take an unsafe bus out, that as long as he was willing to drive it, you would continue to give it to him. prtc could be held legally liable for liabilities incurred because of any incidents related to a faulty bus. *nm |
