Safest month ever on the New York subway

[MajorRewrite]

There have been a lot of fearmongering threads about crime lately, so here’s a headline about the falling crime rate in a blue city.

NYCT sees safest month recorded for subway system

July 2025 was the safest July in history for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT) subway system, with an eight percent drop in overall major felony crimes compared to July 2024. According to MTA, New York Police Department (NYPD) statistics show robberies are down 16.7 percent, felony assaults down 9.3 percent and grand larcenies down six percent. There were no burglaries the entire month of July.

The agency says average ridership increased from 3.4 million in July 2024 to 3.9 million in July 2025. MTA adds there was less than one crime per million riders committed in the subway system in July 2025.

Ridership up, crime down. So much winning.

Wow! Mondami hasn’t even won the election yet and he’s already lowering the crime rate.

When I was in the city I used to stay up around the Carnegie Hall area but jumped the A train to go down to the Wash. Sq. area to see what was happening. Safe or not any more?

Pretty sure any stop you get off at around washington square will be littered with people strung out.

Same with penn station but more needles.

Damn shame, there were some really good little walk down eateries in that area.

I know about Penn, passed through there not all that many years ago. Took a Pullman from FL. to Boston and had to switch trains with a layover at Penn. Squalor, wannbe con artists, pan handlers, and the cops didn't care.

Unless I admit to it shortly after all my stories are true. if anything i'm prone to under exaggerating. The Carnegie hall area despite being a high traffick pricier tourist area is no better. That's the area someone will stab you and people will just step over you annoyed you're in their way. Last September someone tried to steal my cell phone and went crazy on the subway platform. That was maybe 35 or 40 crazy people ago.

Holy shit Glam, that's bad. Used to stay at one of the hotels overlooking Columbus Circle. The area was clean and safe. My only bitch was that the hotel was used by visiting performers that seemed to thing that practicing in their room at 2 AM was OK. Knowing the breed I exhibited forbearance and refrained from calling the desk.

You are not painting a bright picture.

Damn, how did you know I lived there too. How did you know that I worked at Marshall Space Flight Center. Where in Alabama did you work?

Educated guess based on the dumbass levels of your posts. I have never, nor will I ever set foot in Alabama if it is full of stupid fucking MAGAtards like you.

Somehow we'll find the strength to go on.

Sheesh. Strong Alabama contingent of stupid fucking MAGAtards? Just stay down there and away from blue states that you hate.

So your your saying if I fly to Mexico and sneak back across the border I'm golden?

I've considered it myself.

I wish our gracious and wise leader would consider deploying the national guard through the five burroughs.

In that regard his 'wants' are limited. The situation is short of invoking martial law and that's what would be required.

What bothers me Glam is that the voters haven't woken up to what's happening.

Let me throw this out for consideration. Wall St. is nothing more than a conglomeration of offices. The "stock market" is actually a computer complex that is located in CT an MD. The trading floor and brokers? They can exist anywhere. Point being a financial hub is merely a matter of convenience. In the new world that can change really fast.

And all of that artistic creativity? It's going to follow the money. It's all going to collapse without some strong change.

I don't want to see NY collapse, I've had too many good times to wish that. But without a new direction I do not see anything more than financial flight and the inevitable spiral into collapse that that brings. Detroit is the model you don't want to follow.

Wow! Mondami hasn’t even won the election yet and he’s already lowering the crime rate.

If he keeps that up, he will reach Trump's level of winning, maybe even resolve the Ukrainian war, before he steps into office on day one. [Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves like someone did bragadociously before his day one.]

Speaking of resolving the war, tomorrow we will find out in the first two minutes if the felon sees that Putin wants peace or is just jerking his chain again.
