The ride on Robert Miles's shiny new Metrobus is smooth and even. On the route from the Greenbelt Metrorail station to Laurel, Miles steers his 40-foot-long "New Flyer" with a light but firm touch at the wheel. At each stop, it glides to a halt a few inches from the curb. No jerky starts, no sharp lurches.
Miles, 58, is the best bus driver in the Washington region, having logged nearly 2.8 million miles in horrible traffic, road and weather conditions without a single accident in 29 years. He is one of only four bus operators among the transit agency's 2,315 to drive more than 2 million accident-free miles.
