Man takes bus for joyride in Canada, turns down passenger with expired pass

Canadian police say a member of the public who took an Ontario transit bus for a joyride, with about 10 passengers still onboard, didn’t even leave “a ding.”

Police say the man, who drove the articulated bus along its route through the city, also carefully denied entry to a passenger looking to board with an expired bus pass.

“It’s comical but at the same time it’s serious. We’re thankful nobody was hurt,” Hamilton police spokesperson Trevor McKenna said, according to CNN affiliate CBC.

The joyride took place Tuesday night, after the real bus driver pulled into a terminal and got out to take a break.

A man then boarded the bus and drove away, making multiple stops for passengers to enter and exit, according a press release from the Hamilton police Wednesday.
