A scofflaw hopped behind the wheel of an MTA bus at a Brooklyn depot Monday and sped off with its stunned driver on board — making it about a block before crashing, cops and law-enforcement sources said.
The 32-year-old miscreant snuck onto the B6 bus at the Ulmer Park Bus Depot on Harway Avenue near Bay 38th Street in Bath Beach around 12:40 a.m., according to authorities and sources.
