Prohibits NYC transit authority subways or trains from operating without at least one conductor on board, except where currently permissible.
The bill amends the public authorities law to mandate that any subway or train operated by the New York City Transit Authority for passenger transport must have at least one conductor on board, except where exceptions already exist. The conductor is defined as the person other than the driver, engineer, or motorman, primarily responsible for safety aspects such as opening and closing doors. This measure aims to enhance safety and security for passengers, especially in light of recent security threats.
