Chapel Hill Transit

When I arrived at the Park and Ride lot the other day to take the V bus, it was there waiting as I had been told over the phone. The bus, however, had not logged into the system and so did not show on the real time arrival service. When I started to board the bus, the door was closed, the engine was running and the air conditioning doing its thing. The driver, however, was asleep behind the wheel. What if she had awakened startled and done something to put the bus in motion? I think it's a very unsafe situation. She confirmed that the bus was not logged in but it was not clear to me if this was a failure of the system or the failure on her part to do something to log in.
