Italy Concerned for Island Bus System, but Roosevelt Island - That's Amore

Our Italian correspondent has some thoughts on the Roosevelt Island bus situation:

Hello,

the accident happened recently to the white bus led me to some considerations about the safety of the Bus system on Roosevelt Island.
Each RIOC bus has a sign right above the driver that says: "FOR PASSENGERS SAFETY FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS OPERATION OF THIS BUS WHILE ANYONE IS STANDING FORWARD OF THE YELLOW LINE".
This morning, like every other morning, about half a dozen of people were standing forward of that line. Same applies on the way back home: every night people is packed everywhere, including forward of the yellow line.

It's clear to everyone that the Bus service is not reliable, but is it at least safe?
What is the maximum allowed occupancy of these Buses? Is RIOC willing to enforce and respect State laws?

Yours

Alain

P.S.
Despite the bus, R.I. is still the best place in NYC

Hey Italy, did you know that one of your fellow Italians had this to say about good mozzarella:

I think your Board of Italians, and your Italian collaborator, should return to Italy because they evidently forgot what good mozzarella tastes like when on Pizza. Try N. 28 on Carmine and Bleecker... real Italians go there.
