Fight a bus lane camera ticket.

NYC bus lane cameras — mounted on poles and on MTA buses — mail tickets to the registered owner. Fines climb with every repeat violation, so it pays to challenge the ones that shouldn't have been issued.

How much is a bus lane camera ticket?

For street-mounted camera violations, the fine depends on how many bus lane violations the vehicle got in the past 12 months:

Violations captured by cameras on MTA buses follow their own escalating fine schedule. Camera tickets carry no license points, but unpaid ones add penalties and can lead to judgment, booting and towing.

Don't wait: you have 30 days from the date the ticket was issued to dispute it before late penalties are added. Unanswered camera violations go into judgment after about 75 days; parking tickets after about 100 days.

Frequently asked questions

Do bus lane camera tickets give points on my license?
No. Camera tickets are issued to the vehicle's registered owner, not the driver, so no points are added. You still have to pay or dispute them.
Why is my bus lane ticket more than $50?
Fines go up with each violation within 12 months: $50, $100, $150, $200, then $250 for each one after that.
Can I fight a bus lane ticket if I was turning right?
Often, yes. Drivers may enter a bus lane to make the next right turn. If conditions made that turn impossible, that can be a valid defense — we check the video and photos.
How much do you charge?
A $2.99 processing fee per ticket we dispute plus 50% of the savings if it's dismissed. The review is free.
