Toronto Bus Driver Highlights Public Transit Hygiene Concerns

A Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus driver has sparked discussion online after sharing a video expressing his frustrations with passenger hygiene during morning commutes. In a video uploaded on June 21, 2025, the driver, identified as sheldongrant727, addressed viewers directly from inside his bus. "Good morning," he began, "Why are y'all coming on the bus musty at 8 AM in the morning? Your armpits stink, your breath stink." He continued to question, "What are we doing, y'all? What are we doing?" The video, which quickly garnered over 91,000 views and nearly 8,000 likes, highlights a sensitive but common issue in public transportation. While the driver's comments were direct, they resonated with many who experience similar issues on crowded transit. The TTC has not yet issued a statement regarding the driver's comments, but the video serves as a reminder of the shared responsibility for maintaining a comfortable environment for all public transit users.
