Yes, I operate at Flatbush on the B46 all the time.We have 600 operators at Flatbush, and some have more time to argue about the fare and do tactics than others do. Think about this: the B46 is virtually the busiest bus line in the country (despite the MTA's ridership stats), and if I count how many times a person gets on with no money, their card not working, or coming through the back door, or "short changing" the farebox, the day becomes much more stressful. On an guesstimate, I'm hitting F5 over 70-80 times per day. As I said, MTA knows exactly what's going on, and I've yet to see any undercover transit cops board the bus and bust anyone coming through my back doors, or walking pass the farebox. Again, my job is to operate the bus safely and challenging the fare each and every time will make your life at MTA very short-lived. That's for damn sure. |
