Take A Cab!
This bus driver should be praised as a guardian of public health, not singled out in the Post for his over-zealousness:

That’s the philosophy of one city bus driver, according to a Wall Street banker who claims he was ejected for coughing.
Michael Goga says the germophobic driver of an X10 express bus to Staten Island yesterday became incensed right after Goga “just cleared my throat.”
“Sir, you coughed on my bus and you have to get off,” Goga says the driver told him. “I can’t have you get sick on this bus.”
When Goga refused, he says, the driver took the bus out of service and ordered all the passengers off in lower Manhattan. Goga then called cops to file a complaint.
The MTA contends the driver only attempted to forestall the rapid transit of germs by asking Goga to cover his mouth.
