  • In response to the idling vehicle crackdown, perhaps the city and state should look at the MTA as well.

    Because of construction on the 2 and 3 trains this weekend and last, countless MTA buses were needed to shepherd riders up to the Lenox Terminal area and 149th St-Grand Concourse. Well, those buses were idling like crazy the entire past two weekends from 9 pm Friday night until 5 am Monday on Broadway from 90th St to 93rd St. Great poster for environmental consciousness by the MTA.
