Fewer than half of New York City subway riders feel safe or satisfied, according to an MTA survey.

This spring, just 45% of straphangers said they felt safe aboard trains, according to the results of the MTA’s Customers Count spring 2024 survey.

That’s down from the 54% who felt safe inside subway cars in the fall of 2023.

Additionally, just 44% said they felt safe inside train stations this spring, a drop from 51% in fall 2023, according to the bi-annual poll conducted April 18 through May 12.

Only 47% of straphangers said they were satisfied with the transit system — down from 52% in the fall 2023, and the lowest percentage since the spring 2022 survey, when it was 48%, the stats show.
