It's like hiring Gordon Ramsay to fix your restaurant and you think you know better than him. I'm not saying that the Governor is corrupt but if he could respect President Byford's experience in fixing a Transit System without overstepping, New York City Transit and eventually the whole MTA could get better.
It only applies to non authorized vehicles. Police can park where they please. Same thing for official city vehicles. They are allowed to park in bus lanes aswell.
For businesses that lack loading docks and residences, use high-capacity trikes instead of trucks or vans for deliveries in such a dense city with little to no parking spaces. Yes, trikes have a smaller capacity and may need to make multiple trips, but they’re allowed to pull over on the sidewalk without any trouble.
Police and city workers are on official business and have the right to double park. I work for the city so I know. We are allowed to park anywhere and never receive tickets.
You clearly don't run a business in the area. I bet you would change your notion of restriction if you had to pay your workers to work or sacrifice your time after business hours to wait for deliveries that move throughout the course of normal business hours. But this really explains why personal vehicles shouldn't be driven or parked in commercial areas additionally served by mass transit. This would allow commercial vehicles the availability of space to park and not impede bus lanes. It's crazy to me that people often lack simple common sense to any of this.
@@JamesWilliams-fx6xg You don’t need to run a business to know that Why don’t deliveries come during sunset or after? Surely if you are dedicated to your business you can manage that? Or at least in the early morning or off rush hour Not the commuters problem
The mta will stop this ticket program in a few months. As a former mta employee (buses in Manhattan) all that needs to happen is someone who thinks he's important will get offended and it will stop.
Finally, something noteworthy the MTA is doing, if they do this more on Bus lines in the coming years, traffic congestion should be drastically reduced.

With all due respect, do you know how long it would take to build more subways? If anything, they should replace the Traditional Train System with readily available Travelators that use less energy and requires less maintenance.

I mean i get it but when you have these delivery drivers delivering heavy goods and there is no space to park or pull over where exactly else are they supposed to park?
Wait for a space. You cannot stop illegally or obstruct the road. If a store has not provided somewhere to perform a delivery, that’s the store’s problem.
Truck drivers don't care, their companies pay all the fines. There is no where for large trucks to park to unload. The city knows that, the traffic cops are always giving them tickets.

You want to talk enforcement. HAH! I saw the MTA board have a silly discussion about fare evasion. The conversation literally went nowhere. They talked in circles about fare evasion and in the end offered no solution. Anyone busted for fare evasion is not going to pay the fine, thats the bottom line. Norman Brown brought up the most interesting point. If a fare hopper gets busted they can simply make up the fine by continuing to hop for days until the fine is made up for thru fare hopping. For example someone gets busted for fare evasion. They pay the 100 dollar fine. The next month they fare evade without getting caught. Thats over 100 dollars they saved simply by fare hopping. MTA I do not know what the solution is but I only see fare evasion rising in the coming weeks, months, and years. As long as people know they can get away with it. By the way I just saw a two fare hoppers this morning. One at the 40th/Broadway entrance and one at Grand Central and what a shock not one single policeman or MTA employee around.
cakesofholy237 lmao no, who told you that? the mta generates an average of 6 billion dollars annually from fares, which covers half of its operating costs primarily maintenance and electricity. fare enforcement only totals in the hundreds of millions. you can make the argument that the MTA spends more on measures against fare evasion than what theyre actually saving, but making transit free would be a net loss and taxes would have to be raised.

Maybe it is time to bring the electric street car and have them in a dedicated median??? Get rid of all rubber tires and oil burning vehicles. Go back 100 years ago please, pre GM take over.
San Francisco MTA has been doing this for many years. Busiest Roues in San Francisco like the 38-Geary, 14-Mission, 9-San Bruno have some of the worst running time before this was introduced. Now reliability is a little better. Im glad NY MTA is taking the same step.
Never been to NY(IANAL) Does NY follow the “solid white line is a curb you can park on” standard? If so park in the center lane, open your doors into the bus lane, throw out some safety cones and a safety spike strip into the bus lane... Double the impact on traffic, increased delivery driver safety, bus lane is not obstructed by your vehicle and as such can’t be cited by the ABLE system, bus now has to merge over 2 lanes, seems like a win/win/win. Even if they don’t follow that standard, at least at that point it takes a patrol officer(or possibly parking enforcement?) to issue the citation instead of the bus.
@@cmlara5333 your idea is pure bullshit Why should anybody care for the delivery drivers Anybody who does that should pay for all repairs Did I forget to mention it’s also illegal since your endangering more than 5 People?
I drive buses in Canada and we have buses lanes but it's totally useless, cars get in them all the time, there is no repression whatsoever so they have not afraid to do it. Yes you see signs saying you can get a fees but i 12 years as a bus drivers i never saw anyone getting pull over for that.
Instead of going after drivers that may be working, why don't you guys go after the people that do not pay their fare. That issue is more important being that you guys want fare hikes and toll hikes.
Because he's a leading civic engineer? He worked wonders for Toronto Transit and spent decades working for TfL and Southern Rail in the UK. It's just hiring the best man for the job, really.
They shouldn't be given a warning but be given a fine right away. I use to drink buses for 10 years, and it was so inconsiderate that I see a car blocking any sort of bus area like they actually own it.
Bikes don't pay the taxes that fund the roads. So get your bike off my road. Besides, roads were designed for motor vehicles not for bikes. So, once again, get your bike off the road. Your bike ain't paying for it!!!

HOIX THE GREAT the MTA has gotten NYPD to brutally beat people who can’t afford to pay fares
It’s all about staying out of the bus lane!
Since when is free public transportation a right?
Nobody gives a shit
Where's the catapult I've been hearing about? Was really looking forward to that.
Love it, we need that in Berlin
Wir haben doch auch Blitzer auf den Straßen, wieso sollte man das bei Busspuren nicht machen dürfen? Wir haben hier in der Hauptstadt echt bedarf dafür, weil jeder sein Auto hinstellt, wo er will.
Coming next, tesla will help issue traffic tickets via 360 camera view and lidar speed detection
How about the S79SBS buses why are they always 10 mins apart from each other in rush hour "a lot of people" isn't a good enough excuse
Shorter buses maybe?
Longer route
Maybe it is time to bring the electric street car and have them in a dedicated median??? Get rid of all rubber tires and oil burning vehicles. Go back 100 years ago please, pre GM take over.
Ian Carisi Why?
It’s money grab for the city
Are you sure that this has nothing to do with generating revenue for Comrade Wilhelm ? How will you spend the funds collected from those fines?
That joke of yours is getting too old.
Ok but can the buses stay out of the regular lanes then 🙄
San Francisco MTA has been doing this for many years. Busiest Roues in San Francisco like the 38-Geary, 14-Mission, 9-San Bruno have some of the worst running time before this was introduced. Now reliability is a little better. Im glad NY MTA is taking the same step.
Big brother is watching you bus lane blockers, now you're gonna get a Dutch rub!
Paintnamer What?
Older brother rubs his knuckles into little brothers scalp. That will teach him a lesson!
This is bull $&#/$!!! How are delivery drivers are supposed to make deliveries than? On their backs.
Never been to NY(IANAL)
Does NY follow the “solid white line is a curb you can park on” standard? If so park in the center lane, open your doors into the bus lane, throw out some safety cones and a safety spike strip into the bus lane...
Double the impact on traffic, increased delivery driver safety, bus lane is not obstructed by your vehicle and as such can’t be cited by the ABLE system, bus now has to merge over 2 lanes, seems like a win/win/win.
Even if they don’t follow that standard, at least at that point it takes a patrol officer(or possibly parking enforcement?) to issue the citation instead of the bus.
@@cmlara5333 Yes let’s pop the buses tires
That sounds really smart
Let’s merge all traffic onto A different lane
*B IG B R A. I N*
@@cmlara5333 your idea is pure bullshit
Why should anybody care for the delivery drivers
Anybody who does that should pay for all repairs
Did I forget to mention it’s also illegal since your endangering more than 5 People?
1:52 Yay! Traffic evaporation!
Giving tickets to hard worker delivery men trying to make an honest living we should all sell our trucks/cars/vans and collect well fare instead.
They could just not get in the way. They are slowing down busses that are carrying many people
I drive buses in Canada and we have buses lanes but it's totally useless, cars get in them all the time, there is no repression whatsoever so they have not afraid to do it. Yes you see signs saying you can get a fees but i 12 years as a bus drivers i never saw anyone getting pull over for that.
Take notes Muni.
Instead of going after drivers that may be working, why don't you guys go after the people that do not pay their fare. That issue is more important being that you guys want fare hikes and toll hikes.
It's always about the money.
Edwin Infante Leocadio That joke (about corruption) is getting too old.
Why is the president of the NYC MTA somebody who is clearly NOT from NYC
Because he's a leading civic engineer? He worked wonders for Toronto Transit and spent decades working for TfL and Southern Rail in the UK. It's just hiring the best man for the job, really.
Seems great
Wish Dallas would create bus lanes.
Why dont we just add Lasers that vaporize anything that comes in front of the bus
fancy name for a go pro XD
It's describing how their new camera system works
Great review for law enforcement of the bus lane.
They shouldn't be given a warning but be given a fine right away. I use to drink buses for 10 years, and it was so inconsiderate that I see a car blocking any sort of bus area like they actually own it.
Yeah. Now make a new bridge out of this dam gridlock logjam. Y'all always got your hands in my pockets.
What are you talking about?
Awesome!!
I wouldn't mind something like this for bike lanes.
Bikes don't pay the taxes that fund the roads. So get your bike off my road. Besides, roads were designed for motor vehicles not for bikes. So, once again, get your bike off the road. Your bike ain't paying for it!!!
Stay out the bus lane
PilotVBall It’s 2019, not 1959. Who plans around the car nowadays?
Holy shit I’m gonna get fired cuz idgaf. Ima stay unloading.
grazie
I live in Germany. Why did TH-cam recommend this video to me?
Good Job MTA
Its a good idea, money speaks louder that most things. Would suck to get $5k worth of tickets in a month.
Look at the M14-D was it late
What I would like to know is. What are y’all doing about the bus that stops in the middle of the road impeding traffic right next to the bus lane. You don’t want people in the bus lane we don’t want your bus holding up traffic. Get it together MTA
Finally cause if I see another car on the bus lane going through Woodhaven on the Qm17 I will snap
Yo Don’t Want no Smoke baby 42 stop carrying so much stuff, then you won’t snap
Oh! So will the NYPD be penalized for illegally parking in bus lanes?
Lawrence Duncan That would be fun.
Damn time to buy me a personal bus
You don't need to be rude man!
Hardcastle Who is being rude?
@@TheRailLeaguer I didn't like "how" he said his last sentence!
