Another big ticket increase: Nearly 10K more AI-assisted citations for parking in LA bus lanes
In the second month of enforcement, automated cameras on two Metro bus routes in the city of Los Angeles helped issue more than 9,700 tickets to cars parked in a bus lane or at a bus stop, according to data from L.A. Department of Transportation.
Thousands more than last month
That’s 77% more tickets prompted by the A.I. cameras compared to their first month in use, which took place between Feb. 17 and March 17. Before the cameras were installed, officers on patrol were typically issuing 570 similar tickets per month, the city’s Department of Transportation said.
The 720 bus route runs on Wilshire Boulevard from downtown L.A. to Santa Monica. The 212 bus shuttles riders on La Brea Avenue from Hawthorne to Hollywood.
