Bus company won’t ferry migrants from Texas to NYC after Adams lawsuit — as two other charters say they’ve also stopped
NY Post
A charter bus company that’s been ferrying migrants from Texas to New York City has agreed to stop while the courts consider a lawsuit from Mayor Eric Adams claiming such firms should be on the hook for the spiraling costs of caring for asylum seekers.
The central Texas-based Roadrunner Charters Inc. was one of the principal bus companies that brought migrants either directly to New York or to train stations in New Jersey after Lone Star State officials flew them to Philadelphia in late December and early January, a City Hall rep said Wednesday.
But Roadrunner will no longer do that under the new agreement, which would bar the company from bringing migrants into the Big Apple in return for the city not seeking preliminary injunctive relief, the rep added.
At least two other companies Adams is suing told The Post they’re one step ahead of the mayor.
“We haven’t been in the program for a while — we only went to New York two times,” David Jones, the owner of Buckeye Coach LLC, said Wednesday.
“When New York brought up the requirements, we were ready to comply,” he continued. “We are not into the politics, all of this is crazy to us. We are just doing interstate commerce … They hire us, we do a run and that’s it.”
