A bus firm has carried out an internal inquiry after a man disguised himself as an employee and drove one of its buses from its Chelmsford depot.
Joshua Cooper, 20, took the single-decker Bluebird bus, operated by First Group, on 14 May after obtaining a uniform from a friend at the company.
The bus was driven two or three miles before Cooper took it into a depot.
Cooper, of Mersea Road, Colchester, was jailed for six months for taking a vehicle without the owner's permission.
He also admitted driving without insurance or a licence.
Chelmsford Magistrates' Court heard no passengers were on board the bus when it was taken.
It is understood Cooper had been turning up at the depot in the uniform for a couple of weeks before he took the vehicle.
He had told workers he was from another depot.
A spokesman for First said the vehicle taken was not a public bus but one which "transports drivers between the bus depot and the bus station".
