The MTA has now installed security cameras at all 472 subway stations in New York City The Post reports — and transit officials believeĀ the surveillance surge is helping drive down subway crime.

The last of the around 2,000 cameras installed by the transit authority since December 2020 at ā€œover 200 stationsā€ went in on Saturday at the Broadway station on the G line, the MTA said. Previously, just 200 stations had been equipped with cameras, MTA Chief Safety Officer Pat Warren said in an interview;

ā€œThese cameras are not there to watch or invade in any way on the personal experience of our riders,ā€ Warren said. ā€œBut if you are a criminal, and we know where a crime took place, we will be able to go to those recordings, find you, and deliver that image to the police so they can investigate.ā€

Warren also said that the extra cameras have proven essential for NYPD in capturing subway perps.

Does this make more comfortable with being underground? šŸš‡
