Nyc is so big and it’s hard to extrapolate a handful of news stories cherry-picked by news media into a larger trend. The trend could be that news agencies needed to excite viewership

besides the stats the other people have mentioned... local news (case for every city) continuously runs crime reports (republishing police) because it is low effort to report and grabs attention

a lot of scary stuff goes unreported. I was pushed into the bus lane by a crazy person the police did nothing about it even though they caught the man right there. They let him go no polive report

It’s like how I can complain about my mom, but if someone else says something bad about her, she’s a perfect angel who never did anything wrong.

I'm realizing so many riders zone out on their phones with 2 earbuds in - you always had to be aware of your surroundings!!

I do think also these opinions can be divided by native New Yorkers as well as transplant New Yorkers. A lot of native NYers know the trains have been crazy, it’s just crazy that it’s getting

I feel similarly about LA, and especially our transit system. My thing is - is I wasn’t hearing a story here or there, I’d be scared. The fact I hear the stories means they’re not that common

I haven't been on the subway in a few days but I've never felt unsafe on the subway before in 20 years.

There are different types of crime. The subway is really safe for things like property crime, but random acts of violence are just a part of living in a big city.

Hard dichotomy of like: literally safer to take the subway than a cab, car accidents happen 100X more than subway violence but also if the vibes are bad that’s a real problem we need the MTA to address with barriers

You can tell who isn’t living here when they talk. I watched a vid of a girl scared for her life over a homeless man farting on the subway. Like that is the least of your problems.

the subway has issues but it’s a 24/7 train system running under the city. lichrally no one else has that

3.6m riders per day getting assaulted is literally a >1 in a million event. Be safe & be aware, but don’t be scared

From what I am seeing it’s mainly the New York Post or Fox News talking about how dangerous NYC subway is. They get paid to lie for a living.
