Metro Takes Tougher Stance on Texting on the Job Watch Video As Metro adopts a no tolerance policy for bus and train operators using cell phones and PDAs on the job, pictures of a sleeping Metro operator surface... Metro announced the new policy Thursday after at least one incident caught on camera by Metro riders and incidents involving operators on other transit systems across the country. Meanwhile, in the latest Metro fail, a 14-year-old boy took video of an operator apparently nodding off while a train is speeding down Green Line tracks between College Park and Greenbelt. The videographer, Gregory Thomas, told Fox5 that the incident happened June 18 and he sent the video to Metro June 23, the day after the deadliest crash in Metro history. "At first he's dozing off then, he's not in a full sleep," Thomas told Fox. "I see him start to doze off and his head going limp."
