SporTran said it had removed a driver from operating service after video showed one of its buses traveling on the wrong side of Interstate 49, according to a November 2 statement from the Shreveport transit agency.
The statement did not identify the driver or say when or where along the interstate the incident occurred. November 2 is the date of the agency statement, not a verified date for the roadway incident.
SporTran said it holds safety briefings for operators before trips and would release additional information as it becomes available. It did not explain what led the bus onto the wrong side of the highway or describe the steps taken to return it to the proper lanes.
The agency described the employee as removed from operating service. Its statement did not say the driver had been fired.
