Driver Halts Bus Because Passenger Coughs

A New York City bus driver stopped his bus because a passenger coughed. The Transit Authority acknowledges something happened on the X10 Express bus from Staten Island Tuesday, but two different stories are coming out.

Wall Street banker Michael Goga tells the New York Post that he cleared his throat and coughed. The driver told him he had to get off the bus, because he didn't want germs spread.

When Goga refused to leave, the driver took the bus out of service and ordered everyone off in Lower Manhattan.

Goga then called police to file a complaint.

Transit spokesman Charles Seaton says the driver only wanted Goga to cover his mouth, and the passenger than dialed 9-11.
