Yeah!! It looks like NYC is going to be able to start using cameras on buses to fine people who block bike lanes, bus stops, truck loading zones, crosswalks and intersections. That will vastly improve our city! NYPD Traffic is completely useless at anything but directing traffic (and not even particularly good at that).
They'll probably use similar rules to how they currently fine people for bus _lane_ violations - it has to be seen more than once over a defined period of time. (Quickie violations are OK).
