The operator who likes VW MARTA even SMS at the time of the accident was his. It would be not the first time. Recently a commuter drove a photo of a driver MARTA with his cell phone to a text message send, while he was driving a train of full of passengers!

Commuters are not only passengers, but they are to protect their security and safety of other passengers investigators. Responsible for the photo, a passenger on the train, which had read an operator of one of the trains a book in the previous month experienced. He decided that he to do something.

Some cities with the help of dedicated citizens started fight back against this kind of irresponsible behavior and ineffective sanctions. The Washington Metro implemented a new policy on texting in 2009 after a passenger one its operators recorded with a mobile phone in the service and posted the video on YouTube. The line of the old policy was a three strikes policy of sending SMS messages. The first offense would result in a five-day suspension while the second would result in a 10-day suspension. A commuter train operators would be subject to no cancellation up to a third offense. It took the embarrassing photos exposure before a new zero tolerance policy was adopted. Under the policy of zero tolerance a commuter train drivers immediately raised when caught with a mobile phone or handheld device while in the service.
