New York announces $50 fine for anyone who rides the subway, bus, or train without a mask - Business Insider

A new executive order, effective September 14, enables authorities to fine anyone riding public transit in New York without a mask.New York is the first major city to enact a monetary fine for those who don't use masks on public transit.While masks have been mandatory on New York public transit since April, Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced a $50 dollar fine for anyone who doesn't follow the mandate.

The executive order, effective September 14, applies to both riders and employees. The order will be enforced by the Metropolitan Transit Authority Police , NYPD and Bridge and Tunnel Officers — not MTA frontline employees.
