#1,592 - Seattle bus driver says continuous fentanyl smoke by transit riders makes him sick; health dept. says it's no real risk
Stevon Williams says he is proud of his job as a bus driver for King County Metro, but he says fentanyl smoke is now so common that it's making him sick.
“I really hadn’t ever heard of fentanyl smoking on the bus when I was hired by Metro," Williams told KOMO News. "I don’t want to be put in a predicament where I’m around drugs every day on my job - I didn’t sign up for that.”
King County Metro data shows there were 1,885 reports of drug use on the bus system in 2022. 52 transit operators reported being exposed to smoke from drugs, and 16 operators filed worker's comp claims, according to data obtained by KOMO News.
“You have people who are on there smoking right beside passengers, right beside mothers with little children. It’s for the drug users, they’re looked out for first," Williams said.
Williams is now on leave while he receives medical testing for exposure to fentanyl smoke.
“I just know when we’re sick, we should be checked and listened to," he said.
