Is the subway in New York City safe? I had a look at Reddit and they said it’s fine but I’ve learnt not to trust Reddit

No millions of people get robbed and raped in it every day

if you're a grown man you have no reason to be afraid. just watch yourself and dont be an easy target. insane homeless people are easy to spot and avoid,

i live here it’s difficult to say exactly as there are different factors. i would say it’s definitely not as safe as reddit makes it out to be but also not as dangerous as twitter makes it out to be.

I felt less safe riding it than the one in Rio, because of the amount of free roaming black schizos

People on the subway are usually more afraid of me than the other way around

I didn't feel unsafe but I'm a grown man. It was disturbing though to see the public transportation service also double as a homeless shelter/insane asylum. There are mentally unstable drug addicts just going crazy driving everyone else to the other half of the car and people act like its normal. In a sane society these people would be arrested and forced into some sort of program. And this was in the fancy parts of Manhattan. I can't imagine what the poor neighborhoods must be like.

>Is the subway in New York City safe?
Safe from what? Violent crime? Pickpockets? Catastrophic system failures/injurious accidents? Bad smells? Unpleasant but ultimately harmless interactions with crazy or otherwise unfortunate strangers?The answer to all but maybe the last two is “more often than not, sure.” I rode it more than once a day for a couple of years when I was living in New York, including late at night in less-desirable parts of the city, and many times in the years since (I live on the West Coast now but visit New York at least two or three times every year), and I have escaped unscathed. I stepped over a lot of puddles of piss, was yelled at by deranged bums pretty frequently, and endured more than a few service breakdowns that were sometimes seriously inconvenient, but I was never personally robbed or otherwise crimed on or injured. I’m not sure I know anyone who has been, and I know a lot of natives and lifer transplants. With basic common sense and awareness of their surroundings, almost everyone who gets on the subway gets off again without incident, every time they use it.There are wildly conflicting reports on subway crime levels—official figures suggest they’ve been trending downward for years (although most authorities concede that there was at least a moderate uptick in crime of most kinds during and after the pandemic), some insist that they’re skyrocketing, particularly assaults. The truth is surely somewhere in between. But it doesn’t change the fact that an overwhelming majority of people never get victimized.

i ride the subway every day around rush hour and the worst part about it is black women on the phone with young kids. that being said i would never take certain lines late at night and would never go to the bronx in general

Never relax, don't go to the Bronx. Brooklyn and Manhattan are generally safe unless it's super late and it's feral hours.

No reddit says the cops will murder you.

Literally came here to ask this and here's a thread. Im 6'4" wide shouldered mma trained so im not worried about me but my tiny wife is partially deaf and has a hard time staying aware. Would my presence keep away the craziest on the subway or do they not care for their wellbeing?

NYC subway is as follows
>try going to the gate watch people hop over while you pay like a non nigger
>get to platform see sleeping fuckers and tweakers around usually sticking to themselves
>start the smell of piss, shit, mold, and weed
>get on the train
>debate if you want to sit in questionable "clean" seat with mystery stains if one is there not taken by sleeping homeless, or stand (do this)
>before you can think AXCHUSE ME SIR IZ A VET AND NEED SOME FOOD MAN YOU GOT SOME MONEY
>act like you never heard them and busy on your phone if smart (have headphones for sure)
>maybe a police officer strolling not caring about anything short of less than a dead body
>listen to Jamal using the loudest setting on their phone to say "yo, hello... ye hello?" the entire time while some bitch on the other end is screaming
>someone with a stolen JBL speaker walking up and down the train blasting nigger rap
>fat mystery race women pushing you aside like you're an object if you are in the way you're the problem dey booty gotta scootch in
>finally get off the train, dice roll if the turn style worksThat's 90% of it, bonus "normal" things include man screaming loudly about trump or some schizo shit, fent zombies, pickpockets, and people deficating.

It's probably the safest transit system of any major American metro. NYPD is far harder on negrotic shenanigans than Chicago or Atlanta for example.

If they say it's fine, that just means you're weaker than them.

>safe
It's less safe for random happenings then nowhere flyover because you get close to more people and that tilts averages up. That being said NYC hasn't been unsafe since the 80s and 99.99% ot people got shit to do and don't give a fuck about anyone else on the subway.
