MTA, NYPD launch enforcement blitz on bus routes with 'egregious' fare evasion
NYPD officers and MTA enforcement agents on Wednesday will surge onto bus routes deemed to be “egregious” hot spots for fare evasion, according to officials from both agencies.
An NYPD spokesperson said top NYPD and MTA officials met on Tuesday to map out areas where bus riders are least likely to pay the fare. The MTA plans to deploy unarmed guards who are part of the agency’s “EAGLE” fare enforcement unit onto those buses, the spokesperson said. Those guards will be directed to look out for riders who skip the fare and escort them off the bus at stops staffed by NYPD officers, who could issue a summons ranging from $50 to $100 and, in some cases, make an arrest.
