I truly feels safe on the NYC subway. You know what's more dangerous than riding the subway? Driving in a car.

  Driving in a car is pretty dangerous when you're in some Texas suburb with 50mph arterial streets. Going 20mph through lower Manhattan with an intersection every few hundred feet, not so much

    Some quick googling gives me the following figures: https://www.chopranocerino.com/blog/new-york-accident-statistics-2024/#:~:text=There%20were%205%2C809%20crashes%20on,total%2C%20there%20were%207%2C253%20injuries https://www.chopranocerino.com/blog/new-york-accident-statis.... > There were 5,809 crashes on the busy streets of Manhattan in 2023. The borough reported 34 deaths (19 pedestrians, 11 motorists, and 4 cyclists). In total, there were 7,253 injuries. https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how-rare-is-crime-on-the-subway#:~:text=To%20the%20first%20point%2C%20there%20were%201%2C120%20violent%20index%20crimes%20reported%20as%20occurring%20on%20the%20subway%20in%202023%2C%20compared%20to%20935%20in%202019 https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how-rare-is-crime-on-t... > ...there were 1,120 violent index crimes reported as occurring on the subway in 2023, compared to 935 in 2019 Even comparing just Manhattan to the subway system as a whole, driving is more likely to result in an injury by a factor of 7x.
