Crime statistics in New York City's subway system show a 19% increase in felony assaults compared to last year and a 66% increase since 2019. Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary, suggests that the subway is dangerous, while the MTA reports that subway crime is declining and ridership has increased. Critics highlight the perceived dishonesty from the Trump administration and its officials regarding public safety. There is a sense of neglect from state officials toward the safety of those who rely on public transit.
Felony assaults in transit have skyrocketed. As of May this year, they are up 19% from last year and 66% from 2019. It’s dangerous to ride the subway in New York.
The MTA claims subway crime is down, ridership is up, and congestion pricing is working. They seem to overlook the ongoing crime concerns related to public safety.
Trump’s cabinet members should exhibit at least a modest degree of honesty. However, the current administration focuses on media manipulation and attacking political opponents.
Many New Yorkers face a real danger when using public transportation which seems neglected by those in power, leading to concerns over safety and governance.
