In response to the rising crime rates in America, particularly in major cities like New York and Chicago, there have been discussions about deploying National Guard troops at public transportation hubs. This move has already been implemented in New York, and there are now calls for similar actions in Chicago.
The head of the union representing transit workers in Chicago has expressed concerns about the safety of drivers, citing incidents where passengers have left weapons on buses. He is advocating for guardsmen to assist with security measures, including screening for weapons on buses and trains.
