Under SEPTA policy, bus operators must keep themselves, passengers and others safe, and they are discouraged from intervening in a crime. But within that framework drivers are allowed to use discretion.
PHILADELPHIA — Route 5 SEPTA bus driver Chris DeShields interrupted what appeared to be a Fishtown carjacking last week on a late-night run by using his 40-foot bus to box in and scare off the would-be robbers.
He was driving north on Frankford Avenue about 10:40 p.m., carrying five passengers, said Chris Valentin, chief bus operations officer for the agency, citing a report on the episode.
