Posted by JAzumah on Thu Oct 1 14:17:33 2009, in response to Re: Staten Island Atlantic Express Takeover MTA, posted by kcram3500 on Thu Oct 1 13:34:39 2009. The express service is not a special issue. I asked NJ's FMCSA office to provide a copy of the waiver that was given to the MTA. None was forthcoming. On the MTA's certificate, only TWO buses are registered. NY's office claims that the MTA could have a series of 30 day "leases" for the buses operating the 100+ runs into NYC and thus they would not be marked. That is utter BS.Likewise, Doris Eusebio at the NYC FMCSA office says that the MTA does not come under her jurisdiction. She is wrong. Everybody comes under the USDOT's safety jurisdiction if they cross state lines. There are no exceptions to this policy unless you are under 9 seats. It is the economic regulation (insurance) that is waived for certain types of operations. I won't even discuss the fact that there still has been no public hearing for the S89 route. That is a violation of state law. |
