Title: EMERCENCY - CALL POLICE
Post by: Buzz on May 15, 2023, 04:25:25 PM

Friday, on my way back to the yard, I'm stopped at the light at Arthur Kill & Arden. A city bus makes the right from Arden onto Arthur Kill. The destination sign is flashing "EMERGENCY - CALL POLICE." I make eye contact with the woman driver and she points up to the sign. I pulled over and reported it to 911.

Just wondering if anyone has friends who drive for the MTA here who might have heard anything as to the nature of the emergency.

No ... she purposely pointed up to the sign and she saw me nod my head to indicate that I would call.
