NYCT, MTA Bus resume fare collection in August
Posted by Gold_12th on Tue Jun 30 16:09:57 2020 New bus operator shield/barriers will be Install on all buses including express buses. Projected finish will be around Fall. Rear door boarding on local buses will end around August. MTA is crying broke. https://abc7ny.com/health/new-mta-safety-measures-include-bus-barriers-ppe-vending-machine/6284818/

Will the union accept front-door boarding until the pandemic ends, given the large number of MTA lives already lost? COVID is quite sneaky even with barriers. Will MTA revenues increase drastically? Some would use a free transfer from the subway. Many discretionary trips would instead be made by walking, jogging, biking, ride-share and/or combining trips into one. I think the MTA will be very disappointed in how much revenue this raises, until the pandemic fully ends and things are back to normal.

I don't believe their drivers are in a union, so they may be unable to protest unsafe work conditions.

When the County privatized the operations one of the provisos was continuing the union recognition. I think it's an ATU local.

I remember that the vendor had to accept the contract, and last month negotiated a new contract as TranDev, but didn't get the union right. But primarily it was a response to the comment about them not being represented.
