Manhattan Assembly Member Tony Simone called for the installation of safety barriers across the NYC subway system, citing recent violence as a pressing concern.
Simone emphasized the need for safety infrastructure in transit, pointing to the recent incident where a man was pushed onto tracks and narrowly escaped death.
To increase subway ridership, Simone insists that safety must be prioritized, using funds from congestion pricing to support these essential improvements.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority currently has barriers in 14 stations, but aims to expand this safety feature at a rate of one to two new stations monthly.
