>Mayor Eric Adams attributed the decline in subway crime to a number of factors, including the massive surge of 1,200 additional NYPD officers in the subway system, as well as an additional 300 officers patrolling overnight trains
So which is the cause of the lower crime, congestion pricing, increased ridership, or the 1,500 additional officer surge? How long will this surge be sustained?
- debacle 2y agoYou are spot on. The surge is I believe expected for the next 6 months. I read there are 6 on each route.
- donohoe 2y agoTime will tell but I suspect its the increased ridership (helped by congestion pricing). The NYPD have been in the system for months and it didn't make much of a difference in the stats as far as I recall. Congestion pricing is the most recent and significant changed variable.
- JeremyNT 2y agoAdams is busy trying to curry favour with Trump so he doesn't go to jail. It's not entirely inconceivable that he might be telling the truth, but he's an extremely unreliable source.
