MTA Riders Take Unorthodox Spot On Bus
Video making the rounds on social media shows two people riding and dancing on the back of an MTA bus.
BALTIMORE, MD — Surprising video that shows what appears to be two young men hanging on and dancing on the rear bumper of a Maryland Transit Administration bus is making its rounds on Twitter. A picture also surfaced that shows two people sitting legs-crossed in the back hatch of an MTA bus near a northeast Baltimore intersection.
"The safety of our operators and passengers is the first priority for the Maryland Transit Administration," officials said in a statement. In reference to the photo, the MTA said that the incident “appears to be a result of tampering” and that they are evaluating additional safety precautions that can be implemented to ensure that the back panels on buses are tamper-proof.
