There are additional calls to improve mass transit after the COVID-19 pandemic, and advocates are rallying in Brooklyn Sunday to urge Governor Kathy Hochul to make subways and buses run at least every six minutes.
The Riders Alliance is calling for an investment of up to $300 million to make it happen, and the group is holding what it is calling a "Countdown To #6MinuteService" outside the Barclays Center station to cap off Climate Week.
"You think Big Brother's watching you on the subways? You're absolutely right," Hochul said. "That is our intent, to get the message out that we're going to be having surveillance of activities on the subway trains and that is going to give people great peace of mind." "Living in a sweeping surveillance state shouldn't be the price we pay to be safe. Real public safety comes from investing in our communities, not from omnipresent government surveillance," he said in a statement.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City's subway system had largely shaken its 1980s reputation as being filthy and crime-ridden, though complaints about overcrowding and reliability persisted. But after the pandemic emptied the system of riders, many New Yorkers began feeling unsafe underground again.
