DUNHAM v. CITY OF NEW YORK

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs payable by the respondents.

On March 20, 1995, the plaintiff was a passenger on a bus operated by the appellant, the New York City Transit Authority. When the bus stopped, the plaintiff, upon exiting, allegedly fell over a cracked, defective portion of the sidewalk in front of where she exited the bus.

The Supreme Court properly denied the appellant's motion for summary judgment. There are issues of fact as to whether the plaintiff was provided with a safe place to alight and whether there was a safe path away from the bus ( see, Miller v. Fernan, 73 N.Y.2d 844, 846; cf., Otonoga v. City of New York, 234 A.D.2d 592).
