SEPTA drivers get random drug tests. No way do they want to risk second hand weed causing them to pop positive.

Edit: not sure why I assumed they were smoking reefer. But I assumed.

Wasn't that an 80's thing? Or did it happen in the 90's too?

That was still happening in the early 2000s when I was hanging out at skatepark all the time.

Philadelphia also banned employment screening for marijuana, there are a few exceptions, but I don't think septa driver is one of them.

Owning a commercial drivers license (like these bus drivers) they are subject to federal drug screenings under the DOTs authority. Regardless of local regulations.

I was unaware the standard size busses required those. Thanks for the information.

It's a class B vehicle, one step below semis. So you need either a CDL class A or B to drive one, and you need to get a special "endorsement" on it to transport humans. The endorsements are another step where you take an additional test. You need them for humans, liquids, doubles, hazmat, etc.

Also air brakes.

Air brakes are included in the A and B classes. No endorsement exists for them.

Not when I took my CDL test. it was and I believe still is a restriction that needs to be removed ( endorsement was not the correct term) Just like manual transmission. Air brakes are a separate part of the written and practical test.

Pre-employment screening =/= random testing. I’m pretty sure you can still be tested in a job like that at any time.

You really think that a person smoking weed on a bus could cause the driver to fail a drug test?

Everyone on the bus would have to be smoking. Even then it's unlikely it would cause someone not smoking to test positive.
