MTA invests in cameras to crack down on cars parked in bus lanes
NEW YORK (PIX11) -- The MTA is expanding its high-tech crackdown on vehicles in designated bus lanes.
The agency invested $140 million in camera systems that automatically ticket owners of cars illegally parked in bus lanes.
The MTA says it plans to install cameras on 2,000 buses within three years. There are currently cameras on about 600 buses.
Drivers are facing a $50 for their first offense that can climb to $250 for multiple tickets.
