Except in an action for  wrongful  death,  an  action  against  the   authority  founded on tort shall not be commenced more than one year and   ninety days after the happening of the event upon  which  the  claim  is   based,  nor  unless  a  notice  of  claim  shall have been served on the   authority within the time  limited,  and  in  compliance  with  all  the   requirements  of section fifty-e of the general municipal law. An action   against  the  authority  for  wrongful  death  shall  be  commenced   in   accordance  with  the  notice of claim and time limitation provisions of   title eleven of article nine of this chapter.3. The authority shall be liable for, and shall assume  the  liability   to  the extent that it shall save harmless any duly appointed officer or   employee of  the  authority  for  the  negligence  of  such  officer  or   employee,   in   the  operation  of  a  vehicle  or  other  facility  of   transportation under the jurisdiction and control of the authority, upon   the public streets, highways  or  railroads  within  the  city,  in  the   discharge of a duty imposed upon such officer or employee at the time of   the  accident,  injury  or  damages  complained  of, while acting in the   performance of his duties and within the scope of his employment.4. No action shall be maintained against the authority or against such   officer or employee on account of such negligence  unless  a  notice  of   claim  shall  have been made and served on the authority within the time   limited and in compliance with all the requirements of  section  fifty-e   of  the  general  municipal law; nor unless it shall appear by and as an   allegation in the complaint that at least thirty days have elapsed since   the service of such notice upon a member of the authority,  its  general   manager  or  other  officer  designated  for  such  purpose and that the   authority has neglected or refused to make an adjustment or  payment  of   the  claim  for thirty days after the service of such notice; nor unless   such action shall be commenced within one year after the cause of action   therefor shall have accrued.5. The authority may require any person, presenting for settlement  an   account  or  claim  for  any cause whatever against the authority, to be   sworn before a member, counsel or an attorney, officer  or  employee  of   the  authority  designated  for  such  purpose, touching such account or   claim and when so sworn to answer orally as to  any  facts  relative  to   such  account  or  claim.  The  authority  shall have power to settle or   adjust all claims in favor of or against the authority.6. The rate of interest to  be  paid  by  the  authority,  or  by  its   officers  or employees whose liability has been assumed by the authority   pursuant to subdivision three of this  section,  upon  any  judgment  or   accrued  claim  against the authority or such officer or employee, shall   not exceed three per centum per annum.
