>I thought we had an unspoken understanding that after 6 pm and before 8 am, you parked where you could

You're really pushing it. It's more like 10pm to 7am.

Personally, I find the habit of parking all over bus stops and curb ramps to be completely obnoxious especially to the disabled. If you need a guaranteed parking spot at night it's something you should account for when you're looking for your apartment/house.

Also, WNY has residential parking permits. They were probably giving tickets for that.

Agreed, but they weren’t only ticketing nonresidents. Also I am looking for exactly that.

The bus stop parking is a serious issue and I wouldn't be surprised if there is some ADA litigation in the future, or maybe already in the works. San Fransisco is removing parking at all their bus stops and some other cities have been successfully sued for deficient bus stops

The parking always comes up as a political issue in Hudson county and I think people are delusional. WNY has 50 thousand people crammed into about a square mile. Where the hell is there room for everyone's car?

Even if you added more spots, people will just buy more cars for their family and fill them all up. The lack of parking is the limiting factor on how many cars people will own.
