subway deaths

Official says MTA is looking into new technology to detect when people are on the tracks

A Japanese railway group has designed benches to stop drunk people from stumbling over the edge of a subway platform.

A woman was killed by a 3 train at Eastern Parkway and Utica Ave this morning after reportedly fainting on the platform.

The MTA union is taking its public war with transit officials to the next level today by distributing a number of bloody "Metro(death)Cards" to straphangers in three Lower Manhattan subway stations.

The MTA is aware of that people don't like reading about subway-related deaths and is working on it. But y'all got to be patient.

Politicians are calling for investigations and hearings into the spate of subway deaths that have rocked the city this year, as Manhattan BP Scott Stringer noted: “we’re really on pace now to hit 116.”
