MTA Deploys Employees To Combat Bus Fare Evasion
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is expanding its crackdown on fare evasion on New York City buses. The agency is deploying employees onto additional routes to monitor ridership. This follows the previous use of specialized Eagle teams on select bus service routes to verify payments. The move aims to reduce unpaid fares across the city's transit network.
