Directs MTA to establish free bus fares for high school students

This bill requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to create a free bus fare program for all high school students attending accredited public or non-public schools in New York City. It mandates that the program operate daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. during regular bus service hours, without limiting it to off-peak times. The MTA chair must establish rules to implement the program, which would take effect January 1st after enactment. The bill directly affects NYC high school students by eliminating bus fare costs during specified hours.
