A man who has been arrested nearly 30 times for bus or train theft has been stopped again for allegedly trying to steal a Greyhound bus.

Police say Darius McCollum, 50, stole the coach from the nation's busiest bus terminal, New York Port Authority, on Wednesday.

He was found with the vehicle two hours after it was scheduled to leave.

Among his previous crimes was the theft of a bus full of passengers at Penn Station, driving it to Kennedy airport.

He grew up in Queens and spent a lot of time at the terminus of the F train, where his fascination with the trains brought him to the attention of workers there who took him under their wing.

By the age of eight, he could reportedly recall the names of every station on the New York subway system.

His train and bus troubles began in 1981, when the then-teenager took control of an underground train and drove it for six stops.

So what exactly was the crime he committed?

While we can agree on this at a casual conversation level, it takes a mental health doctor to determine if he really is mentally fit for the activity. The guy can obviously do the driving part perfectly fine, even other drivers agree, but maybe he lacks certain judgement or communication skills that would make him unfit under certain circumstances of the job. Just a guess though.

Most probably under normal circumstances. Now, imagine the day he has to improvise a solution under big stress and unexpected circumstances, carrying a train/bus full of passengers. Maybe he'd pass with flying colours, maybe he'd crash and everybody would die, but no insurance/transport company would risk to find out the answer to that question. If he crashed, people died and the press found out the driver was an autist with a fixation for trains that wasn't able to do any other job properly the company would be in in big trouble. They simply can't risk it.

Again, this is all speculation and I don't even know if the guy is autist or why he can't get the job.

I'm sure there are ways to test for management of job-related stress without actually being put in charge of people.
I'd have thought he'd be reasonably adept at improvisation and coping with stress, considering he's managed to covertly steal vehicles full of people 50 times and keeps doing it after being arrested and sent to prison.

re: safety of passengers, maybe they should ask themselves why it is so easy for the same man to make off with a busload of customers over and over.

I really hope the terrorists and supreme gentlmen don't take notice of this idea.
It would be a pretty effective way of committing mass murder and I find it disturbing that it seems to be piss easy.

Because that is usually not the case. I have been called racist plenty of times when I wasn't being racist at all. The whole Ahmed clock thing was blown out of proportion because people thought the school was being racist. I can't even imagine how many times that gambit is used when there is nothing else to go on. It's only there for pity points because the ones using that excuse are dumber than a box of rocks.

Elizabeth is our Queen.
Her Governor-General represents her in ordinary matters and appoints the Prime Minister and form the cabinet.
British Law and statutes and precedents still forms the basis of our law.
The only substantive change is that you can no longer appeal to the House of Lords or Privy Council.

I was indicating the rampant ugly present in the white segment of the burgerclap population is primarily a britbong contribution, including the jocks and micks. If anything, the injun contribution probably mitigated that somewhat.

Darius McCollum has a peculiar hobby: impersonating New York transit staff, stealing buses and trains, and then driving them away.

As one police spokesman said of him in 2010, he has “a thing for mass transit”.

Once, he stole a bus at Penn Station and drove it, full of passengers, to New York’s Kennedy airport. Another time he responded to an emergency stop call on the subway at 57th street in Manhattan; clearing passengers safely and correctly and diagnosing the problem, in full uniform, before being caught by the train driver, who had seen his face on a wanted poster.

It has made him something of a folk hero. But he has spent a third of his life in jail for his hobby, and he seems to be incorrigible. On Wednesday, he was arrested for the 30th time in 35 years, and just 79 days after his previous parole ended, in Brooklyn, at the corner of Union street and Third Avenue in Gowanus, driving a Trailways bus taken from Hoboken, New Jersey.

McCollum grew up in Jamaica, Queens, near the terminus of the F train at 179th street, where he would spend hundreds of hours watching the trains come and go, according to a 2002 profile in Harper’s magazine. By the time he was eight he had memorised the entire subway network.

Very well then, cheers to my not quite as uppity colonist brethren.

When he was eleven, he was stabbed with a pair of scissors by a classmate, puncturing his lung. Soon after the stabbing, McCollum was skipping school to ride the subway network, sometimes for days on end, surfacing for food only to disappear back underground again.

His parents tried to stop him by locking him in his room at night, and even tried having him escorted to school in the mornings. It didn’t work. They changed his school; they pushed him into psychiatric treatment. Nothing worked.

He became friends with Metropolitan Transit Authority workers at the 179th street depot; they taught him how to drive trains; how to maintain tracks and signals, how to direct traffic. He kept incredibly detailed notes. A train driver known as “Uncle Craft” first taught him to drive subway trains, on the stretch of track between the last stop and the depot at 179th street.

At 15, somebody gave him his first MTA uniform. “I can’t compare that feeling to anything,” he said of that moment later, speaking to Harper’s from Riker’s Island prison. “I felt official. I felt like this is me, like this is where I belong.” MTA employees, he said, called him “Transportation Captain”.

In 1981, when he was arrested for the first time at the controls of an E train – having driven it without incident from 34th street to the World Trade Center at Manhattan’s southern end after being handed the controls by one of his friends, a driver who was sick – he had already driven subway trains dozens of times.

The arrest didn’t deter him. “I feel I just need to be there even if it’s just for a little while,” McCollum told the Wall Street Journal in 2013 about the transit network. “And then, the more I’m there, the more I want to get involved.” By the time he was 18, he was unofficially covering workers’ shifts off-the-books.

He has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, as well as depression and anxiety stemming from the attack at school, but only recently have courts begun to take this into account.

Lori Shery, president of the Asperger Syndrome Education Network and a friend of McCollum’s family, told the Guardian that she found him a job at a train museum in South Carolina, where his mother lives, but he found the pull of the real transit network too strong. Her theory is that he enjoys the notoriety. “I think he likes being in the limelight,” she said. “He’s become a celebrity of sorts. I think he likes that.”

He is set to appear in court in Brooklyn on Thursday afternoon, charged with grand larceny, possession of a forged instrument, unauthorised use of a vehicle, possession of stolen property and trespassing.

McCollum has often said he would seek therapy, but always ends up back on the rails or behind the wheel of a bus. He has applied and been refused real transit authority work several times – he told the Journal that he believed his 1981 arrest got him “blackballed”.

“Honestly, I feel that if an agency really took an interest in him, could give him employment in the field of transportation, that would make a world of difference,” Shery said. “I think then he would find what he’s seeking.”

he's the hero NYC deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent conductor. A watchful engineer. A Black Traindriver.
