Transit crime is back as a top concern in some US cities, and

political leaders have taken notice

By PHILIP MARCELO

NEW YORK (AP) — Fear
of crime on subways and
buses is back as a top
concern in some U.S. cit-
ies, and so are efforts to
persuade public officials
to take the issue seriously.
New York Gov. Kathy
Hochul said Wednes-
day she would task 750
members of the National
Guard with helping patrol
the nation’s busiest sub-
way system, saying she
felt New York City police
need reinforcements af-
ter a shooting on a train
platform and a conduc-
tor getting slashed in the
neck.
Pennsylvania legislators
created a special pros-
ecutor to go after crimes
committed in the tran-
sit system that serves the
southeast of the state.
