Directs MTA to establish free bus fares for seniors
This bill requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to create a free bus fare program for seniors aged 60 or older who are already enrolled in the MTA's existing reduced fare program. It mandates that free rides be available during all hours the MTA operates buses, without limiting service to off-peak times. The program would take effect on January 1 following the bill's enactment. This directly affects eligible seniors in New York City who currently use reduced-fare bus services.
