Tuesday's Headlines: Sean Duffy is Anti-Safety Edition - Streetsblog New York City

It is awful and unacceptable that 10 people were murdered in the subway system in 2024. Convert that to the standard way of measuring mortality risk, deaths per 100,000 population, and the risk for someone who rode the subway 500 times in 2024 is 0.4 in 100,000. The risk of being murdered underground is ... orders of magnitude less than the risk of dying from a traffic accident elsewhere in the U.S.
