A Seattle bus commuter is hoping to get answers after he woke up in an empty Metro bus parked in a bus barn.
Jim Pullan said the bus driver usually will wake him at the final stop and tell him to get off, but on Thursday morning, Pullan fell asleep during the ride woke up at about 10:30 a.m. in the dark bus parked in the bus barn.
"I was on an empty bus locked in the dark with a bunch of other empty buses around me and pretty cold," Jim Pullan, who takes the bus to work every morning, said.
Pullan called 911, and police called King County Metro.
"I just told them this is going to sound a little odd, but I just woke up on a bus and I have no clue where it is and I'm locked in and I can't get out and there's no heat," Pullan explained.
He told Metro the number of the bus he was on and a worker found him.
The field supervisor drove Pullan to work.
The bus company said a long-time driver made a mistake and forgot to check his bus before leaving it in the bus barn.
Pullan plans to start setting the alarm on his cell phone to wake him when he's supposed to get off of the bus.
