The DOT has already activated cameras along ten NYC bus routes. It is an attempt to reduce the travel times for over hundreds of thousands of commuters by clearing the bus lanes.

M23 Select Bus Service runs crosstown on 23rd Street.
Everyday 2.5 million commuters ride on NYC buses.
Signs indicate when the cameras are in operation and the laws will be enforced.
The violations are issued against the vehicle, not the driver, so points will not be not deducted from the driver's licenses.
Cameras are already in place on the following routes:
