A 20-year-old Beaverbrook man is seeking a formal apology from an OC Transpo bus driver who allegedly unleashed a stream of verbal abuse at him during a bus ride on Thursday, Nov. 3. The incident was filmed by another passenger using his iPhone camera and posted on YouTube. Alain Mercier, the head of OC Transpo wrote a letter to the city’s transit committee apologizing for the incident and promising a thorough investigation. The passenger, Matthew Taronno, a scriptwriting student at Algonquin College, said he is willing to admit he may have offended the driver by reading aloud from a script he had written – that had no foul language but discussed public nudity – during the bus ride. “I want to make an apology too,” said Taronno. “I want a formal apology between the both of us so things can be all right.” Taronno said the incident started at around 2 a.m. early Thursday morning, when he boarded a Route 96 bus at Lincoln Fields Station, returning home after spending the night studying at Algonquin College. The Beaverbrook man said he was memorizing and reading lines of a play he had written that may have offended the bus driver. The play, “Miami Bitch”, contains content about “humans running around naked. BUS DRIVER, see 4
