New York tries to stop violence in the subway with the militarization of the network. The measures to reduce crime have been criticized by users and activists and have not reduced incidents, some of them fatal, such as a shooting in a train car.

The city is risking the tranquility of its neighbors, but also its reputation among the 60 million tourists who visit it each year. But neither militarizing the suburban, nor admitting homeless people with mental disorders against their will, seem to have had an effect for the moment.
