TWU to MTA: Expanded Subway Patrols Are Not Enough

At a competing press conference held outside the MTA's 130 Livingston Street building, TA Surface VP JP Patafio said that the Mayor's announced plan to increase police patrols on the subways doesn't go far enough. As Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton spoke inside, JP, standing before a crowd of Bus Operators, made it clear that TWU Local 100 needs more resources assigned to cope with the epidemic of assaults on Bus Operators.
