NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Wearing masks on buses and subway trains has already been the rule for months now, but too many people still aren’t following it, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority says its warning period is over.

Safety on the subway is always top of mind, and now it’s not just about protecting passengers from crime but from COVID.

To halt unnecessary health risks and keep precautions on track, the MTA is urgently warning refusing to cover your face will cost you $50.

1. Nothing like enforcing a rule when it doesn't matter so much any more. n/t

4. Of course it matters???????

2. Not sure how that would be enforced.

Detained while they write a citation?

At least they keep trying ideas.

3. Not sure it matters. Many will comply just hearing

they have to pay $50, no?

6. Most. Maybe. But fake vaccine cards are $50 so costs don't seem to bother assholes.

Getting thrown off planes doesn’t seem a problem either.

I’m not dissing the idea at all. At least someone is trying to do something.

Of course, I live in a place where enforcement is real and a fine is more like $400, or you can lose the plates on your car.

5. Yes, a police officer would ask for ID and write a citation. n/t
