"I agree with the elimination of this status the attitude of these officers since their increased empowerment is hideous. MTA does have a policing force and they should be utilized not people hired as TBTA officers"
"They are toll collectors with guns nothing else overpaid and have so little firearms training its pitiful.Also they have severe attitude problems."
"THE MTA PD SHOULD TAKE A HISTORY ESSON, EVEN BEFORE BTO'S WERE IN THE CPL (1974) WE CARRIED FIREARMS UNDER THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES LAW, MADE ARRESTS AND ISSUED SUMMONSES, I FEEL AN ATTACK ON US IS AN ATTACK ON OTHER PEACE OFFICERS, FOR EXAMPLE THE NYC SHER"
"Maybe if this happens the TBTA will Finally learn to respect their Big Brothers and Sisters of the shield. Who do you think is going to help them when the Sh-.- Hits the Fan!!!"
"let real cops do the job"
"В"
"LEAVE POLICING TO THE POLICE"
"NYPD does a great job, we don't need them who are not trained police to b patroling outside of the TBTA as they do stopping cars and harrassing people. Stay in your tunnels and bridges."
"Merge them with the MTA Police as civilian members - similar to the traffic agents within NYPD"
"yes"
"I totally agree"
"I am even embarassed to work here, too much hip hop going on, no classical releases. I cant believe noone has stolen anything good lately.. Mike"
"MTA POLICE OFFICER (RETIRED)"
"TBTA does not need police officer status - they are toll collectors and protectors of revenue...they do not need a higher status for such duties."
