It's bad enough seeing another bus passenger masturbate during your commute—but seeing your bus driver in the act? And while driving the bus through traffic and into the Lincoln Tunnel? That's what one NJ Transit passenger saw and she was so upset that she filmed driver George Simpson to bring the matter to the agency's attention.

Attorney Patrick Metz shared the video with WABC 7, explaining, "She noticed he was performing a sex act on himself... The outrage, the danger he was putting the other passengers in and the other commuters, it is unspeakable."

He said, "She was sitting directly opposite the bus driver in the first row of seats," and noted how she filmed "other cars around. As you can see the walls of the tunnel are on the left side. And he's continuing all the way through the tunnel totally exposed."

At one point, the driver reaches for something that seems like a handkerchief or cloth to wipe his head and then his lower area; Metz said, "Now you can see what appears to be him, uh, address the situation."

Metz said, "We don't know what happened before and we want to make sure it never happens again."

Simpson was suspended and charged with causing or risking widespread injury or damage, lewdness and reckless driving. The Star-Ledger reports, "According to the arrest warrant, Simpson on June 24 created a 'risk of (serious) bodily injury to the passengers onboard New Jersey Transit Bus 8097, specifically by removing his hands from the wheel and masturbating while continuing to drive in traffic.'"

NJ Transit issued a statement, "The bus operator in question was immediately removed from service without pay, as a result of this disturbing and grossly irresponsible conduct. The incident was also promptly brought to the attention of NJ Transit Police, who immediately launched a criminal investigation. As a result, the operator has been charged with three separate criminal offenses — including one for risking widespread injury," adding, "We offer our sincere apologies to anyone who may have witnessed this disturbing episode."
