MTA chief Janno Lieber has been making headlines lately, and not for the right reasons. His recent actions have left many New Yorkers feeling frustrated and unheard. Let’s break down some of the key points from a recent interview and see how they can be addressed in a new light.

First, Lieber celebrated the implementation of the $9 “congestion” toll on entering Manhattan below 60th Street. This move has been widely criticized and has caused outrage among commuters. The toll is seen as a burden on already struggling New Yorkers, and Lieber’s tone-deaf celebration only adds insult to injury.

In a recent interview, Lieber downplayed concerns about subway crime, dismissing them as being “in people’s heads.” This gaslighting approach is not only offensive but also dismissive of the very real safety concerns that many riders face. Instead of downplaying the issue, Lieber should acknowledge the legitimate fears of riders and work towards implementing real solutions to address crime in the subways.

Lieber also touted a decrease in overall crime rates compared to pre-COVID levels. However, this statistic fails to account for the decrease in ridership, which means that per-capita crime rates may actually be higher. It’s important to look beyond surface-level statistics and consider the actual impact of crime on riders’ safety and well-being.

Additionally, Lieber’s focus on spending billions on new turnstiles as a solution to fare evasion is misguided. Studies have shown that these technocratic fixes may not be effective in reducing crime. Instead, a more holistic approach that includes better policing and serious prosecutions is needed to address the root causes of subway disorder and peril.

In conclusion, Lieber’s handling of these issues has left much to be desired. Instead of ignoring or downplaying legitimate concerns, he should work towards implementing meaningful solutions that prioritize rider safety and well-being. By addressing the root causes of subway crime and fare evasion, Lieber can help restore trust and confidence in the MTA among New Yorkers.
