Are Metros train and bus operators permitted to use cell phones or other electronic devices while operating Metro vehicles?
Metro has a new, zero tolerance policy for employee use of electronic devices while operating Metro vehicles, which was adopted on July 13. While operating Metro vehicles, electronic devices must be turned off and out of sight. Use of any electronic devices is strictly prohibited. Metrobus and Metrorail operators caught using a cell phone, texting or using a PDA while operating a vehicle will be fired on their first offense.
