In an effort to bolster safety during the busy holiday season, Governor Kathy Hochul announced the deployment of an additional 250 National Guard members to patrol the New York City subway system. This move comes as Hochul emphasizes the increased safety of the subways, citing a reported 10% drop in overall crime since the initial deployment of troops. With every subway car now equipped with surveillance cameras, these measures aim to provide peace of mind for holiday travelers, ensuring that the subway remains a secure mode of transportation as tourists descend on the city.
