New Jersey Transit officials are investigating a bus driver who was captured on video allegedly counting cash while driving with as many as 25 passengers onboard.

"We are committed to taking swift and appropriate disciplinary action upon the completion of our investigation," NJ Transit said in a statement.

Passenger Ashton Smith captured the incident and posted it Saturday on Twitter, saying the New York-bound bus was traveling through Secaucus that evening when the driver started sorting money.

She said it happened over the course of about six miles. "He was counting and sorting the money and switching the directions and stacking the ones," said Smith. "And I started to become a little concerned that he really didn't have his eyes on the road and didn't have his hands on the road."

NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder says the agency is investigating and that NJ Transit has explicit rules that prohibit bus drivers from counting money or tickets while driving.
