TLC REMINDS DRIVER LICENSEES OF PROPER OPERATION IN BUS LANES
The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) wishes to remind all TLC-licensed drivers that they are permitted to pick-up and drop-off passengers at the curb in an expeditious manner in designated bus lanes.
Drivers must not pick-up or drop-off passengers in the center of bus lanes when providing passenger service – make sure your vehicle is stopped as close to the curb as possible. Drivers who are picking-up or dropping-off passengers in the center of the bus lane will be subject to a violation by New York City Police Department (NYPD) or Department of Transportation (DOT). Fines for driving, parking, or standing in a designated bus lane during hours of operation range, upon conviction, from $115 to $150. Fine amounts are set pursuant to Title 34 Section 4-12(m) of the NYC Administrative Code and the NYC DOT.
If you have received a bus lane camera violation from the DOT, you can review the images online at www.ViolationInfo.com. This Web site will also allow you to dispute and/or pay for a summons.
