The MTA announced a specialized team of officers will now work to enforce the payment of bus fares.
The East New York Bus Depot — home to about 250 buses as well as maintenance, repair and tire shops, and MTA offices — has racked up numerous fire equipment and safety violations. “It’s kind of scary knowing there’s no fire protection in the building,” said a long-time employee.
In 2022, there were 234 cases of people being struck by trains with a total of 88 fatalities.
Existing fire pumps at 22 of 23 NYC Transit facilities across the city and Westchester have not received the required annual fire pump inspections since 2020, according to an audit by the MTA Office of the Inspector General.
