I got a ticket today in NYC kinda?

I was waiting in a bus loading zone online for this girl to come down so i could drop papers off to her. Low and behold a meter maid comes up and starts saying something. He was indian so I couldn't understand him well. Anyways I say im leaving soon, shes almost down. As i say that the girl is knocking on my Passenger window. So i get out and say look see shes here. So as i give her the papers he's copying down my tag. I zoom off! He had a good chance and anyone with half a brain could have copied down my plate numbers in the amount of time it took me to leave. So what now? I never got the ticket and he was only there for less then 1 minute. Literally! Call and see if i got the ticket? Does he have the right to give me the ticket?
Additional Details
I cant stand buses. I didnt park there in spite of buses. and there was plenty of room for busese to go there. It was a whole block for buses to park and i was near the corner. Most meter maids are someone nice and just tell you to get out of the way. not this one!

If you were standing right next to the car during this scene, you can fight the ticket.
If you get a ticket, you can say something like "I dont know what you are talking about" or "I thought it was a retarded guy waving flags so he can cross the street". If they can actually prove that it was your car that zoomed off, fight the ticket. By mail youll probably get a rejection letter, but then you can schedule a court appearance. When you get the date, postpone it, and select the 2nd date they give you.

He has every right to give you the ticket. I have to admit, as a person who takes buses, I could slap some people that stop in the bus zone it's so inconsiderate. He probably didn't write the whole thing out.

If he didn't hand you a ticket and ask you to sign, you didn't get a ticket.

If it's illegal to stop at a bus stop, it's illegal for you to stop there even momentarily. You would be in the bus' way.

A cop could cut you some slack and not cite you. He also could cut you some slack and not cite you for running a red light 'by just a little bit'.

of course, he has the right since you were in a bus loading zone. but, sometimes they can cut you some slacks, if you appear nice etc. If you didn't get a ticket, you do not need to call them or anything. it will probably come in the mail or you may not have been written up. so don't worry and hope for the best. if you do get it, go to court or pay. also, you can write an official letter explaining everything you wrote here i.e, if you get the ticket. also, since you only parked for a bit and you were in the drivers seat, i think they will let you off the hook.
