MTA NYC Transit - Rules
MTA NYC Transit - Rules of Conduct
"Rules governing the conduct and safety of the public in the use of the facilities of the New York City Transit Authority and Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority"
This is just a fun read. I've learned a lot already. Examples:
You can't be drunk or high in the Subway: "No person on or in any facility or conveyance shall:...Enter or remain in any facility or conveyance while his or her ability to function safely in the environment of an Authority transit system is impaired by the consumption of alcohol or by the taking of any drugs."
You can't: "Occupy more than one seat on a station, platform or conveyance; lie on the floor, platform, stairway, landing or conveyance; or block free movement on a station, stairway, platform or conveyance" (I knew this one).
You can carry an unloaded shotgun on a train: "Subject to other provisions of the law, this section shall not apply to a rifle or shotgun which is unloaded and carried in an enclosed case, box or other container which completely conceals the item from view and identification as a weapon."
You can't park your car in the middle of the 42nd Street Station, unless someone says it's ok: "No vehicle, except as specifically authorized, may be parked on Authority property."
You can't: "Carry on or bring to any facility or 'conveyance any item that': Is so long as to extend outside the window or door of a subway car, bus or other conveyance;"
The President of the MTA can deputize people. Where do I sign up? "Persons authorized to issue notices of violation: ...or other person(s) designated by the president of the Authority shall be empowered to issue a notice of violation for violation of any of these rules."
