Mortimer Downey, head of the D.C. Metro board’s safety committee, has a request for D.C. Metrobus passengers. “Keep your eyes open,” he said. “If you see the driver nodding off, speak to her or him. Help us out.”

We wish we could say that was a joke, but no, that was his actual advice to passengers, according to The Washington Examiner’s Kytja Weir. As she reported Thursday, 67 bus drivers have been caught napping on the job in a 19-month period.
