Eric Adams: New York Has ‘the Best Subway System on the Globe’

TRANSCRIPT:

ADAMS: "Can we please stop saying we’re up in crime in our subway system? We are not. We're down in crime in the subway system. Bringing transit crime down overall for the year in 2024, that's what we've done this quarter. And let me repeat this again, transit crime is down. Our public transit system, especially our subway system, is the lifeblood of our city. I said it over and over again, and New Yorkers are safe on our subway system. I'm down there talking to the passengers, communicating with them, and many of them keep saying over and over again as we move through the subway system, they say to me, 'Eric, can people stop saying we're unsafe down here?' It's the best subway system on the globe and we're the safest on the globe."
