ENCINITAS — A bus rider who thought the driver may be drunk Tuesday called the Sheriff’s Department, and deputies arrested the driver on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Deputies stopped the bus, route 309 from Oceanside to Encinitas, about 4:25 p.m. as it was heading east on Encinitas Boulevard near Calle Magdalena and determined the driver showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol, the Sheriff’s Department said.
Deputies then conducted field sobriety tests and based on the results arrested the driver, 40, on suspicion of driving a commercial vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
“We take this allegation seriously, and we will be very aggressive in investigating and taking whatever action is necessary to prevent a reoccurrence of this event,” said Matt Tucker, the North County Transit District's executive director.
The district will have no further comment until the investigations are completed.
The driver was employed by First Transit, a company the district contracts with for drivers, Tucker said.
The district serves 12 million passengers in North San Diego County and by operating the COASTER train to downtown San Diego.
