Museum of Sex ads driving female MTA bus drivers crazy

They want to pick up passengers — not the other way around.

The city’s female bus drivers are being harassed by sleazebag passengers over new Museum of Sex ads splashed across the front of their vehicles — and the problem’s gotten so bad, the MTA now concedes the saucy signs need to go.

“Guys walk onto the bus and say to me, ‘Is this Museum of Sex?’” Catherine R., 50, an 11-year driver from Staten Island who didn’t want to give her second name, told The Post.

“How am I supposed to respond? I just look at them and roll my eyes up, I can’t really say anything. At night, I’d feel strange because there are more weirdos out. Don’t put the ad smack in front of the bus.”

MTA had better get rid of those signs pronto. Sexual harassment law has been clear for decades that the employer has to take steps to prevent harassment by customers. How was it that no one saw this in advance?
