is piloting retail-style closed circuit television monitors on city buses, aiming to deter fare evasion, assaults, and other crimes by more explicitly showing riders they’re actions are being recorded.
“Our bus fleet has robust camera coverage, and these pilot screens will be a force multiplier to the safety benefits these cameras already provide,” said Rich Davey, president of MTA New York City Transit. MTA officials often say that the transit system has more surveillance cameras than a “Las Vegas casino,” but feel that the screens may make it clearer to would-be bad actors that they are being watched.
