Trucks that need the engine running for refrigeration are exempt from this. I’d wager the vast majority of trucks doing deliveries / idling in NYC are not carrying material that needs to be refrigerated, and they’re usually clearly lab

The same reason car break-ins are still a problem on public streets. Except, while in many urban places you can pay for protected parking for your car(ie a garage), you can’t do the same for bikes. Ooneepod.com is trying to improve this in
