Safer Subway Rides
By Rob Safuto on Sep 25, 2006 in Blog
The New York Daily News is reporting that the city subways are as safe as they’ve ever been since 1969.
According to their story, “Subway crime is down 18.6% at this point compared with last year, thanks to a combination of surveillance cameras, undercover cops and sting operations at a time when ridership is at about 5 million a day, officials say.”
This is good news especially since the MTA is considering making people wait longer on the platforms for trains. It’s also nice to hear that the city is using some high tech tools to keep people safe even when there are no police around.
