Why would the bus union file a complaint? They are not the owners of the bus.

Does “Wall Street” have to be in New York?

The TWU has “run” the NYC Transit Authority for so long they just “assumed” that they owned the busses.

Because they can.

Geez. I sure they don't piss off the garbage union.

They probably want a better class of riders. Hippies smell.

Use garbage trucks.

You can pack a lot more of the smelly little bassturds into a single load if you use the compactor.

Neither is the NYPD or the City of New York. The busses are the property of an independent state agency the MTA and the drivers are employees of that agency not NYC. The NYPD is looking for convenience. Both the NYPD and the NYC Corrections Agency have their own bus fleets and they are set up to transport prisoners. A municipal bus driver is not being paid to transport unruly, slovenly, and possibly dangerous arrestees.

It might be because of the stench. Imagine trying to drive with a busload of stinky loud and annoying hippies. The thought is enough to make you go insane.

And a stench as bad as these hippies emit may never come out.
