The 60-day warning period on the Bx22, M96, M116 and Bx2 bus routes begins on Oct. 13. Vehicles that block bus stops or illegally double park will receive warning notices in the mail for an initial period during those 60 days, followed by summonses thereafter. Fines start at $50 but can be as much as $250 for repeat offenders. The four routes are in addition to the 43 routes currently enforced.
Starting Monday, drivers along four more MTA bus routes in Queens and the Bronx will begin receiving warning letters if they block bus lanes or bus stops, officials said. After a 60-day grace period, fines will kick in along the Q6 line in Queens and the Bx20, Bx3 and Bx7 in the Bronx, according to the MTA. Tickets start at $50 and can rise to $250 for repeat offenders.
