Transit drivers should be allowed to photograph the offender and send the plates to the DMV for a fine if the vehicle does not move in 30 seconds after the bus arrives. And the fine should be $100 for 1st offense, $250 next, $500 third.
I’m a school bus driver. We are actually trained to push cars the fuck out of the way if they block us from completing a railroad track crossing. I actually ran into this situation my first day of driving training – I stopped before the tracks, put my emergency blinkers on and opened my door, and a car behind me passed me (which is illegal) and then got stuck on the tracks behind another car. My trainer was like 'GO! HIT HIM!" but I couldn’t do it. He was really pissed at me.

Transit drivers should be allowed to bulldoze them out of the way

500 is way too low. They are blocking critical infrastructure. Should be a 1% of pre-tax monthly income per minute imo
