A letter from Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, has raised concerns about subway crime in New York City, emphasizing the need for passengers to feel safe. Interestingly, subway crime has actually decreased by 40 percent this year compared to 2020, and fare evasion is down by 25 percent. Janno Lieber, the chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, addressed the inquiry by pointing to the positive safety improvements already made, suggesting that Duffy's letter could imply pressures on the transit agency despite the declining crime rates.
