Have you ever waited SO long for a bus or streetcar that you think to yourself… “I should just steal this and drive myself?”
Well that’s potentially what went through the mind of a 33 year old man this week.
A not-so-normal situation happened when cops were called on a stolen TTC bus, which a man had somehow broken into and fled in.

Durham police were dealing with a bizarre situation on Tuesday morning.
They arrived at an Ajax home after a man called police to say he was concerned his brother had stolen a TTC bus and gone for a joyride.
After speaking to the man, police later found the stolen bus, at Bonacord Avenue and Cochrane Street in Whitby.
A 33-year-old man was taken into custody.
The TTC confirmed to CityNews that one bus was missing. The driver had completed their regular route and parked at the Birchmount garage at 1:40 a.m.
It’s not clear yet how the man got ahold of the bus.
Well okay then.
