A First Student Canada school bus driver was fired after he was caught urinating from an empty bus on video somewhere in Transcona.

“We absolutely do not condone this kind of activity and the driver has been terminated,” First Student Canada spokesperson Jay Brock said from its HQ in Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday.

The mother of a daughter who took the bus to school shot the video of the driver urinating from the front steps of the bus and it was posted on Global TV with the driver’s penis blacked out during the act.

The parent shot the video after she received no response to several complaints to the local office about the driver allegedly urinating off the bus a number of times before.

“We’re investigating that part of it,” Brock said.

A local locations manager declined comment.

The River East Transcona School Division does not employ that bus company. A Winnipeg School Division spokesperson said it stopped using it two years ago to cut costs.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told Global that, although there were no kids on the bus, her own children witnessed the act.

“There are far too many kids in the neighbourhood and, for someone who has an occupation like this, I don’t think it’s necessary behaviour,” she said.

“Your mind wanders and goes into the most darkest of places because he just goes down the street (afterwards) and picks up kids (students) on the street.”
