Eyes on the Street: Busted in the Bus Lane

We've posted many times on NYPD bus lane abuse, so it's nice to have this reader-submitted shot. This scofflaw driver was tagged Monday evening on E. 57th Street between Madison and Fifth -- just in time for bus passengers to witness a rare act of traffic law enforcement.

We’ve posted many times on NYPD bus lane abuse, so it’s nice to have this reader-submitted shot. This scofflaw driver was tagged Monday evening on E. 57th Street between Madison and Fifth — just in time for bus passengers to witness a rare act of traffic law enforcement.

With new MTA chief Jay Walder citing bus lane blockage as a top priority, hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot more of this. Who knows, maybe there’s even an order of concrete on the first 100 days’ agenda.
