The NYPD is in the middle of an MTA bus lane violations crackdown
New York City Transit President Richard Davey says traffic agents are going around ticketing private and commercial vehicles that are illegally in bus lanes during this holiday period.
"We have over two million customers who use buses around New York City everyday. They are being slowed down by double parked cars, cars parked in bus stops and cars using bus lanes."
The crackdown that started on December 4th has resulted in more than 12 hundred tickets. The officers handing out tickets is in addition to cameras one some of the MTA buses that generate automatic tickets. The MTA is hoping one third of its bus fleet will have those cameras installed over the next two years.
