MTA board member David Jones said Monday during a committee meeting that training could not fully capture the experience of driving a bus on city streets. Data shared during the committee meeting showed “bus collisions per million miles” creeping up above rates set in 2019.MTA data showing an increase in bus crashes since 2019.“We’ve also onboarded an unprecedented amount of bus operators over the past two years, specifically this year, and they’re having more than their fair share of incidents,” said Frank Annicaro, the MTA’s vice president for buses.
“I don’t think the uptick is the result of bus operator inexperience, or a lack of training. Operating a 40-foot or 60-foot bus in NYC has become even more difficult. The streets are more crowded. We’re sharing the space with more bicyclists, e-bike riders, scooters, as well as Uber and Lyft drivers, than ever before,” Yates said.
