Six of the accidents have been minor and one was more serious,'' said MTA spokesman Marc Littman. ``Once again, people ran a red light, and the bus was creeping along the intersection at 10 mph,'' Littman said, referring to the slower speed limit imposed for Orange Line buses in intersections. - Staff and Wire Services |
