The number of city bus riders is continuing to go up from the record lows during the pandemic, a good sign for the MTA What’s not good news: The number of fare-beaters is also increasing
The transit workers union says the directive won’t help.
"Bus operators unlock the rear door at bus stops, so that exiting passengers can push the tape, open the door and get off. This memo does not change that practice. When passengers exit, fare-beaters take advantage of the open rear door and board through it," a official at the TWU Local 100 said."The MTA needs to be doing more to get riders on through every door, and if the MTA can’t step up and keep its promise for all-door boarding, then Gov.
Many buses already have an OMNY payment system by the back door, but are not functioning yet. When aske about a timeline to get them functioning, the MTA said they still don’t have one.
