BOSTON -- The head of the Boston-area transit authority said Saturday he'll ban all train and bus operators from even carrying cell phones on board after a trolley driver told police he was texting his girlfriend before a collision Friday.Operating under the influence of cell-phones.
About 50 people were hurt in the underground crash in downtown Boston, though none of the injuries was life-threatening.
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority already bans operators from using cell phones and recently ran an internal ad campaign featuring a poster of an open cell phone that warned employees not to drive "under the influence."- WHDH
