PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — TriMet says it’s investigating a complaint that a driver kicked a woman and crying baby off a bus in Hillsboro, saying, “I can’t drive with that noise.”

A spokeswoman for the transit agency, Mary Fetsch, says drivers can take steps if they believe safety is in jeopardy. TriMet officials will meet this week with the driver.

Another passenger on the bus told The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/naR38t ) the baby wasn’t that loud and all the other passengers got off the bus in protest.
