The MTA plans to install security cameras on every New York City subway car.
The MTA intends to install security cameras in every subway car. The agency released this sample video footage from a subway car showing MTA CEO Janno Lieber showing Gov. Kathy Hochul the inside of the subway car.
The governor was asked if she could assure riders that facial recognition would not be deployed or that data would not be shared with tech companies or China. She did not answer directly, simply says that the cameras are all about safety.The cameras will be installed in 200 train cars a month until the entire subway car fleet is camera-equipped. That is not expected to happen until 2025.
All Metro-North trains are equipped with cameras, and more than 90% of Long Island Rail Road trains are equipped with security cameras. "This is all part of our overall recovery as we're going forth. I know that the last two years have been extremely difficult. We're cognizant of that," Hochul said. "And we're doing everything we can to use the tools, the resources, and the technologies that'll change people's experiences, start changing their anxiety about safety on our subways."The MTA will install thousands of security cameras on NYC subway trains, promising 2 per train car.
