I NEVER pulled rank as a transit worker and parked where I felt like, or at a parking meter with the vest displayed in my 34 years there.Hourlies are not issued a parking placard, just by request one that allows you to park in the yards. But you also needed another placard to park in "your", if you started work there. And the supt. of car equipment had to approve it and his priority is the shop people and the RTO people are kept out. It is no guarantee a vest will be accepted at a parking meter. On the #1 line recently a community activist made a stink over the train service people parking on Broadway at the meters all day with the vest in the window. Then they all got tickets. Cops can do the same thing and get away with it. We are all under the same pension system. Where a #1 employee can park between 4 and 5AM up there is beyond me. They are walking targets for muggers since they have to walk so far to the station at that hour. This is why we should have designated parking for transit workers at terminals. Parking is mostly non existent in yard for "my people". |
