I parked in a bus stop a couple of weeks ago outside a buddy's house and exited my car to help load some furniture. Moments later, an agent pulled up beside me and issued a summons for "No Standing." I was literally in the bus stop for less than five minutes. Was the agent right to issue a ticket?

Bill, Brooklyn

Dear Bill, Unfortunately for you, he was. You may pick up or drop off passengers expeditiously in a "No Standing" zone, but getting out of the car to load "stuff" even for just a few minutes is a big no-no. NYPD is quick to enforce "No Standing" regulations.
