MTA claims subways are safer while pointing finger at Trump admin for bad rep —  straphangers still ‘scared s–tless’

The recent surge in violent subway attacks in New York City has left commuters feeling anxious and unsafe, despite reassurances from MTA officials. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has been facing criticism from US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who has labeled the subway system as dangerous and crime-ridden.

MTA member Gerard Bringmann expressed his frustration with Secretary Duffy’s portrayal of the subway system, stating that the MTA is working tirelessly to enhance safety measures. However, everyday New Yorkers have a different perspective, with many feeling uneasy and on edge while riding the subway.

Debbie Fuchs, a long-time subway rider, shared her concerns about the rising crime rates and admitted to feeling fearful while traveling underground. She emphasized the need to remain vigilant and cautious at all times. Another Manhattan resident echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the increasing crime levels as the reason for avoiding subway travel altogether.

Secretary Duffy has been vocal in his criticism of Governor Kathy Hochul’s congestion pricing plan, which aims to encourage more New Yorkers to utilize public transportation. He referred to the plan as “liberal insanity” and emphasized the importance of prioritizing commuter safety.

Recent data revealed a 9% increase in felony assaults in the subway system compared to previous years, raising concerns among passengers. In one incident, a man was shoved into a train at a station, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries. Despite these incidents, MTA Chairman Janno Lieber maintains that the New York City transit system is one of the safest in the country.

MTA Police Chief Thomas Taffe highlighted the agency’s efforts to enhance security, including the installation of over 135,000 surveillance cameras across the transit system. He noted a decrease in overall crime rates in the city subways, reassuring commuters of ongoing safety measures.

While MTA officials emphasize the safety of the subway system, passengers remain wary and cautious about their daily commutes. The debate over commuter safety continues to be a point of contention between transit authorities and government officials, underscoring the need for ongoing vigilance and proactive security measures in public transportation.
