NEW YORK — A vast majority of New Yorkers want more cops in the subways and do not feel safe riding the trains at night, a Quinnipiac University poll published Wednesday found.
The poll from April 28 through May 2 of 1,249 registered voters in the city found 86% of respondents wanted more police officers in the mass transit system, where major felonies are up 63% so far this year from the same period of 2021.
Roughly 61% said they feel unsafe riding at night, compared with 43% of respondents who fear the trains during the daytime.
