At this week’s Board meeting, we recognized Metro Bus Operator Vonetta Mack for her quick thinking and courage in saving a customer’s life.  When the customer began choking aboard her bus, Operator Mack safely pulled over, administered the Heimlich maneuver and called for emergency assistance. Her fast, decisive actions ultimately helped save the customer’s life. Please join us in celebrating Operator Mack for her selflessness, compassion, and commitment to the safety and care of our customers.
