Posted by thelaw on Thu Jun 23 20:27:03 2016, in response to Select Bus Service ticket... still confuse riders, posted by Gold_12th on Wed Feb 25 01:54:25 2015. This is an interesting thread. The SBS bus has recently been introduced to Queens. And it appears that the MTA hasn't learned anything from how inadequate the system is and especially the complete lack of signage. How is anyone supposed to know that, if you have fare or coins, that you should get a ticket for the SBS Select Bus? They have huge ads, electronic information, maps -- everything other than simple and noticeable instruction at stations that your money, mta metro card or a transfer ticket are still not sufficient.I decided to take this woman's case pro bono to fight this issue and save her money. What amazed me was the assumption by some MTA employees that "everyone knows about it." Until I almost was ticketed myself when this bus first arrived, I had never used an SBS bus in all my years in New York City. http://www.thelaw.com/law/pro-bono-my-mta-select-bus-service-fare-evasion-case.474/ I'd enjoy it if people contacted me about similar experiences and am trying to understand why there hasn't been adequate signage posted since inception. It's like having a speed limit on a road but without an adequate or visible sign. |
