VIA, the city’s metropolitan transit agency, mounted surveillance cameras on all its buses about a year ago. Since then, the cameras have caught some drivers breaking the rules and using their cell phones while they were driving.One video shows a VIA driver driving in rush hour traffic.You can see the driver looking down and not at the stopped traffic ahead.Instead of slowing down, the bus rams right into an SUV being driven by Betty Jo Hummel. “It was horrible,” said Hummel. “It was the most horrific thing I’ve probably ever lived through.” Hummel said she never saw the bus coming as she sat in her SUV.
