While crime may be a concern, the reality is that many New Yorkers ride the subway safely every day. Fear is often exacerbated by sensationalism.
Despite some recent upticks in specific crimes, subway crime overall has decreased significantly compared to past decades. The actual safety data indicates a complex picture.
Critics of congestion pricing are often using fears around crime and public safety to further their political agendas, which detracts from the genuine transit discussion.
Media narratives can distort perceptions of safety in public transit. Much of the subway's portrayal as dangerous doesn't align with statistical realities.
