It's increadible that some one can jump to a conclusion without fully knowning the facts. Please re-read the news post.
A cell phone & texting ban was already in place. In fact, the operator in this case may face criminal charges since he ignored the already in-place ban.
The MBTA is now seeking to ban cell phones and such devices from being carried on-board by employees.
