Taxi Gets Ticketed by the Police

Observed by vic on Tue, May 22 2007

This is my first time seeing this happen. Towards the end of the Runnymede bike lane right before Bloor, a taxi driver was taking advantage of the extended taxi stand (aka bike lane). A couple of bike cops were there giving him a ticket. If you look closely at the signs, it basically says, "No parking! The taxi stand is over there!". But this dude wasn't paying attention.

Well glory be, another first, I've NEVER seen police ticketing ANYONE for parking in a bike lane. Maybe that's because police cars frequently use the bike lanes as their own personal parking lot. Hard to enforce laws that the police themselves are so commonly seen breaking.

Hats off to these two officers, we need more like them!!!
