“#MTA bus lodged in Brooklyn brownstone turns into attraction<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The MTA bus that became lodged inside a Brooklyn brownstone following a crash earlier this week has developed into an oddball attraction for scores of gawkers. <\/p>\n

\u201cI got a text from friends to check it out,\u201d artist Catie Rogers, 26, told The Post outside the Lincoln Road crash-site on Thursday where three days earlier over a dozen people were injured when the B49 bus rammed into the Prospect Lefferts Gardens building. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey said it was the best \u2018art installation\u2019 of the year!\u201d Rogers joked.<\/p>\n

But she added the scene is truly akin to an art installation thanks to the temporary construction wall erected around the bus with several small plexiglass windows for onlookers to peer through.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen else do you see a bus stuck in a building? I heard it was a sight to see. I was more curious to see how it really looked,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The front-end of the bus has remained wedged inside the corner brownstone due to concerns over the building\u2019s structural integrity. To help prevent further damage with the removal of the bus, contractors have been installing shoring, the DOB said.<\/p>\n

Another visitor, who only gave his name as Alan, said he stopped by after seeing the bus on the WhatIsNewYork Instagram page.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not everyday you see something like this,\u201d the 22-year-old said. \u201cWe were just hanging out in the city and thought we might as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local resident Bob Marvin, 76, said he\u2019s seen a definite uptick in foot traffic in the area since Monday. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t normally see people hanging out on this corner,\u201d Marvin said. <\/p>\n

For curiosity-seekers looking to see the strange sight, time app<\/a>ears to be running out as contractors could finish their work on the building as early as Thursday night, allowing for the bus to then be removed once arrangements are made, according to the DOB.<\/p>\n

But even with the shoring up of walls, certain parts of the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade could still become dislodged during the bus removal, the DOB said.<\/p>\n

MTA spokeswoman Kayla Shults said in a Thursday statement: \u201cWe are prepared to remove the bus whenever the city tells us we are permitted to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
