TORONTO, Ont, – Three TTC drivers accused of texting while steering busloads of passengers across the city have been fired.

According to thestar.com, a source close to the investigation confirmed the news Monday night.

The TTC launched an investigation last week after the photos surfaced.

Union president Bob Kinnear said he could not comment because the matter is being dealt with internally.
