Would you look at that—NYC Transit will be rolling out (in a pilot program) luggage racks on buses that go to JFK and LaGuardia Airports. According to the Daily News, "The racks, which replace several seats toward the back of the bus, debut Monday on the M60 route between Broadway and 125th St. and LaGuardia Airport. NYC Transit will have racks on 10 buses on seven routes in all that include stops at LaGuardia or Kennedy airports." The other routes are B15, Q3, Q10, Q33, Q48 and Q72, and one bus driver is already happy, noting that many customers complain about the luggage blocking the entrances, exits and aisles.

A bus driver on the B46 line in Brooklyn died after being stabbed around 12:30 p.m. today. WCBS 2 reports, "Police told CBS 2 HD that a passenger leaving the bus asked for a transfer. The driver refused to give him one. An argument ensued and the suspect pulled out an object and stabbed the driver with it." The driver was taken to Woodhull Hospital, and then transferred to NY Presbyterian, where he died. The suspect is a black male in his late teens; WABC 7 reports that a witness chased him, but lost him.
