I know New York has metro police, but i don’t think the officers actually ride the trains right?

nypd sometimes are on the train but very irregularly

So it would b incumbent on the passengers

yep. which is kinda shitty bc who wants to deal w an angry ______ woman

had to deal w folks like this in nyc & theres literally nothing you can do but just stand there bc you’ll probably catch a charge for getting involved, or at least be involved in a case if it gets called in

and it only worsens travel time—whenever theres conflict & the conductor is notified, train stops at the next station until authorities (or paramedics if needed) arrive. was stuck at an F stop for maybe 30-40 minutes (train had been stopped before i got on) bc of this

Consequence of enforcers not being present on scene...to say nothing of screening at the fare gates and documenting/banning repeat offenders

So your prescription would be enforcement/security on trains and better screening?
