- HDThoreaun 2y agoYou have Manhattan traffic death numbers?
- nine_k 2y agoYes. They are basically zero: https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/stats/traffic-data/traffic-fatalities.page https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/stats/traffic-data/traffic-fat... Citywide car fatalities were like 12 / year. Subway fatalities, from crime or otherwise, seem too rare to have actual stats; I found only one article saying about a fatal attack in March 2024, and none for prior years. In general, crime on the subway seems rather low, though apparently growing: https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how-rare-is-crime-on-the-subway https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how-rare-is-crime-on-t...
- HDThoreaun 2y agoAt the end of the day this is a political problem. People care more about feeling safe than actually being safe. Random acts of violence make people feel extremely unsafe in a war that car accidents just don’t.
- jakelazaroff 2y agoThat is year to date. There are on average around 250 traffic fatalities per year city-wide: https://archive.is/2025.01.03-112032/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/01/nyregion/walkable-new-york-city-became-deadlier-for-pedestrians-in-2024.html https://archive.is/2025.01.03-112032/https://www.nytimes.com... Meanwhile, there have been around 50 murders on the subway, total, since 2020.
