"We can't remember when something like this has happened in the past," Collins said.

Idiot. The same thing happened a couple years ago just outside of U of C.

[sexualbanana]

Back in the day I always thought it'd be kinda funny to see

[Tomaz]

Too much GTA being played.

[n1zm0]

grown men too lol the one guy is either drunk or on shrooms

judging by the type of guys doing this, my guess is they live right where the bus is abandoned lol

[ryansteg]

:rofl:

[4lti]

Not gonna lie thats pretty funny hahahaha.
Maybe its just cause of the area that makes it funny.

I've always wondered what it would be like to steal a bus, I can't believe they just left it in some random street. Such idiots if they didn't even think to disable the surveillance camera facing towards the inside of the bus. Nonetheless, a retarded act amongst two immature grown men.

At least they aint cutting off other cars like 100% of the CT bus drivers do.

Id look at it from the bright side and hire these guys.

[Mitsu3000gt]

I highly suspect during their joyride that bus was providing a higher level of service than a typical Calgary Transit bus.

I also remember reading about a bus that was stolen by a 14yr old or something like that, however he didn't do anything bad with it, he simply drove the route and picked people up until he was caught :rofl: .

Note the yield sign - you'll see them in the exact same spot on Calgary Transit buses.

I dont have a problem yielding, i have a problem being cut off when im driving 50km/h and he decides that right when im 5ft away from the bus that it would be a good time to pull out.

On the other hand he sat there for 5 min drinking coffee and reading the newspaper while there wasnt a car in sight.

i need one of those stickers so i can "legally" cut people off.

[2BLUE]

Thats great! GTA

[nonlinear]

these guys were obviously high on drugs. i mean, who is out on the streets at 5:30 am on a sunday morning ready to steal a bus?

[toastgremlin]

Whenever I rode the bus and the driver would get out for Timmy's (to go to the "bathroom" :rolleyes: ), I would entertain the thought for a little while but then dismiss it as a retarded idea.

Living the dream.

[baygirl]

I thought this was hilarious when I read it in the paper.

I mean who can honestly say they've walked past a running bus/firetruck/cop car/ambulance and haven't thought about taking it for a little ride?

[calgarydub]

I hope you guys aren't seriously blaming GTA for what these clowns did.......

[cjay^]

Anybody else think that these guys sounded totally baked out of their minds in the video? :rofl:

[omfgcurtis]

Oh god, i think i know the guy in the brown, even sounds like him:facepalm: :facepalm:

Many bus drivers believe that the yield sign replaced their mirrors I guess. I'll yield to a bus that is trying to pull out, but when they do it anyway when you're already next to them, what am I supposed to do?

Not as bad as the cabs though

Hahahah, I was waiting to see if it really was Jeff!
Went to Jr high and High school with that guy.
Lets just say loser in Jr high, resorted to bullying smaller kids and beating them up at bus stops to try and fit into high school.

Nice to see hes stealing busses hahahaha.

Looks like one of the hundreds of people who recognized him dimed him out: http://newsroom.calgary.ca/pr/calgary/man-arrested-theft-of-calgary-159350.aspx

I wonder what kind of a sentence he'll get.

hahaha... me too... but only to do something weird, like turn the bus around 180 degrees so that when the driver comes back to get on, the door is on the other side... leaving him :confused: and :dunno:

I'm surprised nobody has stolen a CT bus this way before, it's so tempting.

Or, you could swipe it and head to the bus roadeo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1SgsolzQSs) for some environmentally-friendly autocross.

[88jbody]

Some how knowing this kid this does not surprise me. I also could see him doing this sober.

[ryansteg]

these guys are total ballers. hopefully they won't be put away.
