To call New York City's subway a pioneering wonder would be incorrect.
It's no secret that New York City's subway system has been plagued by safety issues. The increase in subway crimes have led to a decrease in public trust and safety. Recently, New York deployed the National Guard to alleviate the crisis. As someone who resides between New York and Cairo, I find the parallels fascinating between these two cities that never sleep, but the intricate framework behind New York's public transportation is lacking.
While far-right outlets try to vilify New York City as being a Gothom-esque liberal city of law-breaking citizens, it's necessary to reframe the narrative and look at who—or what—creates this environment. While Mayor Adams has a history of blaming others—he recently said that the root issue of the subway crisis lies in 'recidivism'—he fails to acknowledge his own power, or address ways to rectify the subway system.
