Could Lawlessness on New York City Subways Shrink Commuting on Metro-North?
|
It’s not safe to ride the subways in New York City. Not that the subways aren’t operated safely, it’s just that the people riding them are victimizing each other as well as MTA personnel. Hardly a day passes without another report of incidents like these:
• A man is slashed with a box cutter by an assailant spewing anti-LGBTQ remarks, who then runs off. • In another incident a 64-year-old postal worker is kicked down off the platform, falling onto the tracks. He was rescued by bystanders before the subway train entered the station.
