DART’s Driver Cell Phone Usage Notice – We know that many riders have expressed concern over the years about our drivers using cell phones while driving. So you are aware, all DART drivers have been told that it has come to our (management’s) attention that operators and maintenance personnel are using cellular phones (with/without headsets) for personal, non-emergency calls while operating a DART Bus. As you know, operating a DART Bus takes the full attention and concentration of the operator. This practice not only jeopardizes our passengers’ safety, but also the safety of our operators’ and IS PROHIBITED.

The latest DART email notice includes how DART management has been receiving complaints about drivers talking on cell phones without a headset while driving. So that means. Hopefully this issue is going to drop severely. I dont know how often this happens but when I rode 105 the first Saturday of 2008 the driver was listening to music through headphones. Which is illegal to do when driving any vehicle. So basically DARTs operators and maintenance are prohibited from using cell phones while operating the buses. But many of them do not obey that rule. Some accept that its prohibited and some do not care that its prohibited and do it anyway.
