Harry Posted November 20, 2012 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2012 [float=left][/float]The MTA has launched an ad campaign promoting a new program that offers rewards of up to $2,000 to transit riders or others who offer details to police after witnessing a crime against a transit employee. The program, known as Transit Watch, was announced this year by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo in the weeks after a joint conference convened by the MTA and the Transport Workers Union Local 100 to address an increase in the number of assaults on MTA personnel.

Quill Depot Posted November 20, 2012 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2012 Great way to make some money, when you see someone physically coming at a TA employee, take a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted November 20, 2012 Share #5 Posted November 20, 2012 Wow........ who wouldn't approve of this....... Pretty much everyone in the city who has a F* THE MTA attitude and feels like they are entitled to free rides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro CSW Posted November 20, 2012 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2012 Pretty much everyone in the city who has a F* THE MTA attitude and feels like they are entitled to free rides? Smh, spoiled brats....... they might as well just walk from A to B and back to A again. But that's just me. Transportation is a luxury and (based on the MTACC) a necessity, after all.

Interested Rider Posted November 21, 2012 Share #7 Posted November 21, 2012 Great Idea with one major problem: Will the District Attorneys finally make any assault against a transit employee a priority and make sure that the perpetrators do the full seven years? The problem remains as i have said time and time again on other similar threads on this forum, unless the District Attorneys in this city make this a priority (and not just during an election year which is coming up next year) and push for the maximum sentence, it will continue to go on even though there is a law with a specified punishment on the books.
