Man Steals Buses, drives them on routes, then returns them?
by Mangesh Hattikudur - July 28, 2008 - 9:43 AM

Picture 102.pngBoingboing’s got a crazy story about 18-year old James Harris, who has been arrested for wearing a transit uniform, stealing Miami buses, and driving them along their routes only to return them at the end of the day with none of the fare gone!? Apparently, he’s done this at least 3 times, and he’s picked up and dropped off passengers on every incident. Is it art? Is there something nefarious going on? Or is James just looking for some voluntary work to put on his college resume? Whatever the reason, mental_floss doesn’t have a uniform, just in case Mr. Harris wants to come in and take over my job for free. The full story here via the ever-delightful Boingboing.

  1. I think he just had a dream and wanted to make it a reality! But if it is art, that’s pretty amazing I think.

  3. There was a kid doing this exact same thing last year somewhere around Orlando.. I wonder if it’s the same guy?

  4. There was a guy who did this in New York about 5-10 years ago. However, he drove Subways, not buses. He always wanted to be a subway conductor. However, he ended up in jail a number of times and was banned from the Subway.
