MTA Worker Parks in Bus Stop

PARKING IN BUS STOPS IS COOL!Check it out! You thought I was exaggerating when I said that sometimes MTA people park in the bus stops. But its true, and I have a great picture of it. At good ol' Jay Street-Borough Hall station anything goes! I was worried that I would have to take done my cool Best Friends Forever countdown timer. But I got lucky today and there were cars parked the full length of the bus stops. (There always are actually). And this time an MTA worker parked there. So lucky! This means I can keep up the timer that counts how long its been since the MTA cleared the bus stop of parked cars. Its in the last post if you want to check.

Oh but this is doubly great because not only is it a bus stop, but you can see the car is parked directly in front of the "No Permit Parking" sign. I guess that doesn't matter anyway cause these guys don't need permits, they just put an MTA vest in the dashboard. But who cares? Park wherever you want, even if you are completely impeding bus service.


DANCING IN THE STREETS!

The MTA has gone from plain old neglect to out-and-out hostility. "You are still waiting for a bus here?! This ramshackle sidewalk shed you have to stand under isnt crappy enough? How about this rickity grate you have to stand on while you wait? What about this pathetic bus sign that is falling over? Still here? Well how about we make you walk through this major truck route to get to the bus. That should keep riders away!"


HOPE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WALK TOO FAR, MTA WORKER!

(Editors note. The middle picture with the people walking through the middle of the road is actually from a different day. I didnt get a good picture today but I want you to see where the MTA person parked so I labeled it for you. Either way, the effect is the same- people dancing in the streets! This picture shows the car and the bus. That bus just let people of right there. You can see its on the other side of the bike lane. Thanks MTA!)
