Metro (Finally) Fires Driver Accused of Vehicular Manslaughter

It took almost exactly a month for Metro to fire the bus driver who plowed over two pedestrians, killing them both.

Can someone tell me why this guy had a job almost one month after he killed two women with a Metrobus?

Can someone tell me why this guy had a job one week after he killed two women with a Metrobus?

Seriously, it strikes me as bad policy to keep a driver on the payroll for that long after the Police have charged him with two counts of negligent homicide after witnesses said he clearly wasn’t paying attention. Why did it take Metro 28 days to fire the guy? Seriously, this is ridiculous.
