JENKINS v. NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The plaintiff Earnestine Jenkins was injured when she slipped and fell on snow and/or ice while exiting a bus operated by the appellant. A common carrier owes a duty to an exiting passenger to stop at a place where the passenger may safely disembark and leave the area ( see, Miller v. Fernan, 73 N.Y.2d 844, 846; Kelleher v. F.M.E. Auto Leasing Corp., 192 A.D.2d 581, 584; Blye v. Manhattan Bronx Surface Tr. Operating Auth., 124 A.D.2d 106, 109, affd 72 N.Y.2d 888). There is an issue of fact as to whether the appellant breached this duty.
