The New York transit impostor who first commandeered a train at age 15 has been arrested 30 times over the years for transit-related crimes, most recently in November when he was nabbed driving a Greyhound bus.
McCollum, who is now 50 and has been diagnosed with autism, is worried what will happen to him next.

But, as he puts it: "There's no AA for buses or trains."
