SIGN ME UP: New Mexico bus driver had sex on job, buzzkill rats 'em out

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A bus driver in New Mexico's largest city was fired after surveillance cameras caught him in a sex act with a woman while at work, Albuquerque transportation official said.

According to the video, the driver stopped at a park and ride on the morning of May 6 and a woman walked onto the bus without paying her fare, KOAT-TV reports (http://goo.gl/U8lcJw). On the video, Alex Gonzales is heard saying, "You know what time it is!"

There was no one else on the bus, according to the video.

After the act, Gonzales said, "Man, if I could sell that I could make a million dollars."

Officials say a patron pushing a baby stroller saw the lewd act and filed a complaint.

The driver, 14-year veteran with the city, was fired last week following an investigation.

Have all the sex you want but not on my time or my property. I gotta wonder though how high the fare is if this woman would perform a sex act for the fare.

Before I tell you why, I want to make sure I am reading this right. I would hate to be misreading this and labeling you as a flat out pig.

1) "Sign me up" Are you saying you would like to be signed up for a job where taking sexual advantage of women in need is a possibility?

2) "This is another reason to M.Y.O.B., just sayin'" So, you are just saying that a woman being used sexually by a city employee is no ones business?

I would hate to think that these are your thoughts when reading this article. I would hope they are not your thoughts. I want you to at least have the opportunity to tell me how I am reading your words wrong before I give you my thoughts. I have read things wrong before.

To me at least, the story makes it sound more like this was consensual, like a girlfriend or swinging partner or whatever...I guess there is an outside chance that the woman was a sex worker, but I'm guessing the story would have mentioned that...If I had to speculate, I'd say it was an illicit tryst and one or both of them were married, which is the motivation behind a lot of workplace sexcapades...Another possibility is that they both have an exhibitionist fetish, maybe?

I'm not excusing what he did, and he deserves to lose his job...I'm just saying...

That is what got me. You are right that there isn't much to go on. Either way, I still do not agree with the OP's only two real comments. That one sentence is the only thing that gives insight. It is the only thing that can be used from the article.

The article also says the driver stated "you know what time it is". Meaning what? Pay your fare time?

With what is in the article, I feel completely comfortable telling the op what I think of their two comments.

In any way. Of course they know one and other in some fashion. Not sure what you are getting at. Pimps know women. That in no way negates anything.

Sounds pretty much like you are advocating extortion.

I confess that I posted my bon mot before understanding all of the facts. I mistook this for a case of clandestine but consensual naughtiness, rather than coercing a fare-less rider.

That said, the guy deserved to be fired...no sympathy.
