Since taking office in January 2022, the alcalde Eric Adams, ex NYPD, announced several times that the number of NYPD officers in the subway system would double in a reinforced security plan to confront violence in the chaotic NYC Subway. But until now The crime has continued.
On Thursday, a man was stabbed with a screwdriver on a Subway train in Midtown Manhattan. Two nights earlier, a gunman opened fire on a homeless man who apparently tried to rob a woman inside a station in Times Square.
Los Gun Arrests Inside the Chaotic New York Subway Have Increased a Staggering 94% compared to before the pandemic paralysis (2019), according to official figures.
In August the cost of the fare rose, while the MTA faces losses of $690 million dollars annually due to the number of users who access without paying, some for not having money and others for simple vandalism. “Toll” collectors have also appeared: people who open the emergency doors of the stations to let others pass in exchange for a “collaboration” in cash.
