I have many fond memories associated with South Lake Tahoe – renting a cabin with friends, a couple of weddings, a couple of rowdy New Years Eves… I’m sure I’m not alone in having a lot of great times at this great postcard perfect vacation spot. But while many of us visit South Lake Tahoe, believe it or not there are nearly 35,000 people who call that city their home.
Whether a visitor or a year round resident of South Lake Tahoe, everyone sees the signature “Go Blue” public buses that zip all around town. For someone like me who doesn’t like to drive in the snow, I’ve hopped on them a time or two.
The reason why I bring this up is because today I am going to devote my column to exposing the bizarre story of John Andoh. John Andoh is the Big Kahuna of the Go Blue public bus transit system – in charge of all aspects of their operations. An employee of the South Tahoe Area Transit Authority, someone in Andoh’s low-profile role for a local government agency would not normally get on my radar screen.

Bus drivers in CA need a Commercial Drivers License (CDL.) Their employers receive notice when they get tickets or involved in accidents. They are subject to random drug tests and the employer is required to inform the DMV if they fail the test.
