OC Transpo is investigating after a video was posted online allegedly showing several city buses running red lights.

The video was posted anonymously to YouTube. It claims to show a string of OC Transpo buses running red lights in downtown Ottawa.

The video runs about nine minutes long,  and appears to be taken at the intersection of Slater and Metcalfe streets.

The anonymous poster going by the pseudonym "ism014" claims the video shows 22 OC Transpo buses running red lights at the intersection.

The timing is vague, with narration on the video claiming the footage was taken over five random days, shot between 7 and 11 AM both this year and last, before and after the deadly bus-train crash in Barrhaven last September.

There are several slides on the video accusing OC Transpo drivers of being unfit to drive.

Oc Transpo general manager John Manconi issued a statement, in which he says he has asked whoever posted the footage to meet with him.

"As I and my team, on behalf of all of the Transit Commission and Council, place the utmost importance on public safety, I would need to meet with the individual in order to investigate what is purportedly shown on the video in question and obtain more details including when the video was taken," Manconi says in the statement.

"I absolutely reject the video’s characterizations of our drivers, our organization and our Commission. I remain proud of what we accomplish together in a day, with how we meet the challenges that go with running a direct 24/7 service and with our commitment to acknowledging and improving where we can and must do better."

He goes on to say, "...without a better understanding of what the video purports to show (in terms of times, dates, camera angle, etc.), I can only remind you and the public that our organization has checks and balances ensuring that safety is a priority for all of us, including training and mentoring, communications with operators, on-street monitoring of operations through transit supervisory staff and special constables, GPS systems and multiple customer contact points and progressive disciplinary action when warranted."

So far, whoever posted the video to YouTube has remained anonymous.
