Posters, including a Today in New York advertisement, were seen taped to the windows of some driving cabs on Metro-North trains Saturday. While the MTA condemns driving while distracted, MTA officials say there is nothing wrong with this kind of privacy. In a statement, Metro-North said the company "does not have a policy that either prohibits or encourages train crew members from papering over or otherwise obscuring interior cab windows." An MTA conductor who was spotted with a covered-up window declined to speak NBC 4 New York. Passengers, however, were more vocal. "It doesn't make sense. This kind of conduct shouldn't be allowed," said commuter Teresa Kirby. The MTA first came under fire on Wednesday when obtained cell phone video showing an engineer reading the paper as he drove a rush-hour train into Grand Central. The MTA said the behavior was "obviously not acceptable." |
