"Metro said it only sees the driver holding a newspaper in his hand, but they are looking into it."
Other people have noted that above, as well, but isn't it bad enough that he is holding the paper and steering with THE SAME HAND and has no other hand on the wheel? I mean, people do stuff like that all the time when they are driving, but driving a bus full of people should at least take one WHOLE hand.
I was on a bus once where the driver was steering with his elbows so he could eat from a bag of nuts.

I've also seen other bus drivers read maps while they are driving, which is ... I mean, I guess I am glad they are figuring out where to go (though, whether that's better or worse than drivers who get directions from passengers is uncertain), but why doesn't WMATA do more to help drivers on new routes?
