An Oahu Transit bus driver was caught playing a Playstation Portable on his route. Reports fail to include which game he was playing- Grand Theft Auto, perhaps?
"The images are grainy. Denita Waltz used her cell phone to snap motion picture clips of a city bus driver.

Waltz said the driver of the Number 54 that goes between lower Pearl City and downtown wasn't just driving his route, he was playing a video game.
'He was continuously playing his video game on the bus. Continuously,' she said. 'At times he was driving, playing with it. At times he was sitting there playing with it.'"
