Prohibits the operation of N.Y. city transit authority subways or trains without a conductor on board

This bill mandates that the New York City Transit Authority must have at least one conductor on every subway or train, with limited exceptions for current operations. The law defines a conductor as the staff member responsible for safety tasks like opening and closing doors, distinguishing them from the driver or engineer. Proponents argue this requirement enhances passenger safety and provides a critical first responder presence to handle emergencies or potential security threats. The measure applies immediately to all passenger trains operated by the authority.
