	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		MaBSTOA was created so that employees would not be subject to civil service employment rules, however, as a practice, all "rank and file" employees such as bus operators, mechanics, and supervisors, have civil service protection like other NYCTA employees.
		The Authorities emphasize that at no time prior to her deposition did plaintiff refer to a knee-high snow bank or the breach of a duty to provide a safe path to board the vehicle.
		Nor is plaintiff precluded from making her case against the Authorities at trial because of her failure to specifically state in her notice of claim that the condition which caused her to fall was a snow bank and the absence of a safe path through it upon which to walk to the bus.

		The issue before us is whether the theory of liability plaintiff now asserts, that the Authorities failed in their duty to provide a safe entrance onto the vehicle, was impermissibly raised for the first time in her deposition testimony, having never been mentioned in her notice of claim, statutory hearing, complaint or bill of particulars.

		The undisputed purpose of the legislation was to include MABSTOA employees and officers in the Tax Law definition of officers and employees of the State or its political subdivisions whose pensions are subtracted from Federal adjusted gross income for the purpose of New York State income tax.
		MABSTOA was also specifically included, along with other governmental agencies and public authorities, within the definition of "covered organization" for purposes of the 1975 New York State Financial Emergency Act for the City of New York.
		MABSTOA is also an "agency" as defined in State Administrative Procedure Act § 102(1) and, jointly with the Transit Authority, has issued rules governing the conduct and safety of the public in the use of the facilities of the Transit Authority and MABSTOA (see, 20 NYCRR Part 1050).

		MABSTOA and any of its property, functions and activities are entitled to all of the privileges, immunities, tax exemptions and other exemptions of the Transit Authority (PAL § 1203-a[4]).
		MABSTOA is authorized to use the officers, employees, agents, facilities and services of the city on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Transit Authority (PAL § 1203-a[5][b]).
		The Administrative Law Judge found that under the "particularized inquiry," MABSTOA met the criteria for "State, its subdivisions and agencies" because it was a public benefit corporation with a strong identity with the Transit Authority, including the ability to freely transfer funds between the two agencies.

		The Transit Authority is considered, like a railroad, to be a common carrier and is required to exercise reasonable care in providing passengers with a safe ride.
		The court ruled that because the Transit Authority failed to open the exit gates during the rush hour, they had failed to use reasonable care in the operation of its turnstiles and were found to be liable for the injuries sustained by the passenger.
		The Transit Authority and the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority are responsible for any injuries occurring by reason of an accident which arises by reason of their negligence.

		Transit Authority Analysts get paid less than unionized Analysts (no longevity), have no right to grieve wrongful treatment by their superiors and were, unlike all other candidates, restricted to only one of the three ASA exams for advancement.
		The Transit Authority will, we expect, engage in a traditional campaign of deception against this union and all unions over the next two months, and we look forward to the contest.
		The Transit Authority has spent five years and vast amounts of money trying to deny Analysts the right to vote this matter, but a vote has been ordered.

	Civic Report 30 \| Competitive Contracting of Bus Service: A Better Deal for Riders and Taxpayers
		Unfortunately for the riding public, the city law continues to prohibit van operators from operating on regular transit bus routes and requires them to pick up passengers by “pre-arrangement” only, which is virtually unheard of in actual practice.
		Since the Transit Authority clearly would not run the buses at a lower cost than the current franchisees, the shift of these routes to the MTA is highly unlikely to occur unless the city maintains its subsidy as well.
		Operating time, the most neutral unit of measure for bus services, is broken down into two categories in federal transit reports.

		Baptiste sued the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority and its parent entity, the New York City Transit Authority.
		Baptiste claimed that the transit authorities were negligent because they failed to put snow tires on the bus, or, in the alternative, because they failed to apply chains to the bus’ tires.
		The transit authorities contended chat Baptiste's fall did not stem from a lack of snow tires or tire chains.

		This paper is a brief history of the private companies that operated local bus services in Manhattan between the end of the streetcar era and the start of "public" operation.
		Fifth Avenue was the only major street in Manhattan that never had a street railway, because the politically connected residents prevented it, and the bus line charged twice the fare of street railways as a class distinction.
		The other major Manhattan streetcar system was the Third Avenue Railroad or Railway (at different times) System, TARS, which also ran nearly all streetcar and bus lines in the Bronx and many lines in Westchester County.

	New York transit union leaders accept take-away contract
		While transit workers represent one of the largest and most powerful sections of the workforce in New York City—running a massive bus and subway system that transports some 7 million riders daily—they found themselves essentially impotent in the face of threatened injunctions that would have bankrupted not only their union, but every single member.
		There was a palpable fear within New York’s ruling elite that a transit strike could turn into a lightening rod for discontent among broad sections of the population, including the most exploited, in what has become one of the most socially polarized cities in the world.
		The aborted confrontation over the transit contract and the sellout by the Local 100 leadership has set the stage for a wave of attacks on public employees and every other section of the working class in New York City in the coming months.

		The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council questioned the ban from a cultural perspective: “Beyond the pleasure and freedom of tourists, it is vital that we protect the right and ability of artists to record the mass transit experience, a fundamental element of urban New York City life.”
