Video shows joyrider on back of Lansdowne bus

Video posted online shows someone joyriding on the back of a TTC bus in Toronto’s west end Friday afternoon.

The Instagram video, which was shot around noon on Lansdowne Avenue, shows a male clinging to the back of a moving 47A bus.

The TTC said it learned of the incident on Friday and that police would be the ones to investigate.

Under TTC bylaws, people can be fined $235 or more for travelling on the outside of a vehicle.

Police would need to speak with a witness and identify the offender, as well as the date, time and location of the incident.

In April, a Twitter user posted video of a man riding on the back of another TTC bus, but it’s unclear when and where it took place.

In February, a York University student posted video of himself riding on the back of a subway train a year earlier.

In 2014, a 32-year-old man died after falling off the back of a moving TTC bus near Eglinton Avenue East and Markham Road. The man had been riding on the bumper of the bus without the driver’s knowledge.

And Metrolinx is investigating after a video was posted on Instagram this month, which appeared to show a person sitting on top of a GO train.
