Kurz danach füllte noch ein Kleintransporter der Wr. Linien den Gürtelradweg exakt von Markierung zu MArkierung aus.

This bus was idling, parked, and empty for many minutes at the corner of Comm Ave and St Marys St

aber er verstellt den MZStr., der am Ende der Ma-Theresienstr. geradeaus in den 2. weiterführt, so wie fast alle rechtsabbiegenden PKWs an dieser Stelle, bei denen das breitenmässig nicht unbedingt sein müsste. Kurz bevor ich diese Fotos gemacht habe beschimpfte hier ein Autofahrer einen Radfahrer, weil er meinte er hätte hier Vorrang beim Spurwechsel.

New York's Boldest

The driver of this bus totally flipped out when he saw me taking photos of his bus and then calling 311.

He mooned me, flipped me the bird and launched the usual curses and insults at me.

I will be reporting his unprofessional and illegal behavior to his employer.

Avoid Empire Enterprises IJJA Inc.

wenn der bus dort parkt (in den 5min als ich dort fotos gemacht hab, ist jedenfalls kein mensch ein- oder ausgestiegen), aber es wär halt ideal, wenn der parkplatz auch breit genug dafür wäre..

naja, schulterblick kostet zeit, aber zumindest muss man bei einem reisebus nicht erwarten, dass einem beim überholen plötzlich eine autotür ins gesicht geschlagen wird..

This is not unusual to see on St. Nicholas. Sorry, it's a phone picture.

How Am I Driving?

Driver was sitting in the bus drinking soda, watching me take pictures. Clickthrough for photo #2 for closeup of his route and bus number as well as photo #3 showing three possible spaces to park the bus on the opposite side of Hudson St. There's no excuse for unprofessional conduct such as this. Call 888-NYCT-BUS if you'd like to report control ID #008 on bus #8602 at 2:45 pm Saturday observed parked in the bike lane at 465 Hudson Street. The MTA actually follows up on complaints and disciplines drivers for improper conduct such as this.

Yeah, and it's also a bike lane.

Wish they would drive over a cliff rather than in the bike lane here across from the Dakota.

This guy left his bus doors open blocking the bike lane for no apparent reason. I shut the doors myself and he came over in a huff. His explanation was that he needed to let the passengers out, but had to admit the little hole in this justification presented by the fact that all the passengers had disembarked some time ago. He said he would keep the doors shut next time.

I then went on to explain that he needed to park flush to the curb, particularly because he was over-wide. He told me that the law requires him to park at least 6" from the curb. What bullshit.

I'm glad to say this asshole is gone:

Haven't spotted him here in two seeks since the barrage of calls to his employer.

However others have taken his place. Here's a bus doing the illegal layover thing. He could have pulled up to the curb.

Just one of the many tour buses that park in the bike lane on Central Park West at 72nd Street so the passengers can spend 15 minutes taking snapshots of the Dakota and the Strawberry Fields Mosaic. Why don't they create a bus layover spot here?

$295 in tix, including for illegal bus layover. It's back to the driving academy for you.

Although the pictures aren't my best work, the bus is about 3/4 into the bike lane and diagonally parked (idling!) where our campus buses pull over to stop. In this busy area, someone that pulls over here causes the campus buses to pull next to them, and then impatient drivers move into oncoming traffic to get around the whole mess.

They're just not thinking very well about where to park. A classic case of OPW syndrome (Only Person in the World).

I often find these Golden Touch vans in the Broadway bike lane further downtown, but I don't stop to take pictures b/c of all the traffic. He's flush to the curb, but it's his problem that he's over-wide. He's also got $290 in tickets.

This anonymous bus company was parked outside the Mariott on Bay. The driver was adamant that there was nothing he could do.

How about parking legally for a change, birdbrain?

He was waiting for two other buses to come along.

Stopping in at the coffee shop probably. The third pic is of another bus parked in a bike lane on the other side of the street.

Bus was parked, driver was present but not sitting in the driver's seat.

I know its not easy to find a place to park a bus, and these guys have to eat. But if he would just park in the traffic lane next to the bus lane, we could have gotten through (no dooring hazard from bus in this situation.) $125 in tickets.

Admittedly, this portion of the bike lane has a dashed line indicating that vehicles may cross the lane to the curb to allow passengers to embark and disembark. But this guy was just sitting in the bike lane with no passengers in sight. And according to DoF, he's got a ticket for standing in a no standing zone, just like he's doing here. When will we learn?

Poorly designed lane right next to a bus stop, but still ... bus in the bike lane

This was also on Allen St., like yesterday's "Typical," just a few blocks to the South.
