Safety
In addition to the above safe subway stations, Mei Wo also compiled safety items for students to pay attention to on the subway.
-
There are often homeless people, alcoholics, and some "weird" people on the subway, try not to make any eye contact with them, and change the subway at the next station
-
Try not to take the subway after 9 o'clock at night, if you really have no choice, you must go together
-
When waiting for the train, stay away from the platform and find a corner with your back against the wall to avoid being pushed off the track
-
Be vigilant at all times while traveling, put down your mobile phone, look around the environment, and run away if something goes wrong
-
Girls should buy a bottle of pepper spray for self-defense and put it in a pocket or bag within reach
-
Try not to sit near the door to avoid hit and run collision
*hit and run means to run away after hitting someone.

New subway policy
The issue of subway safety in New York has also caught the attention of the government, which issued a new proposal in February to provide shelter for homeless people on the New York subway to prevent them from harassing passengers. At present, two police officers are stationed at the entrances of major subway stations in New York to ensure everyone's safe travel.

Must APP
Suggest students in New York to use the app called citizen. The app cooperates with the NYPD (New York Police Department) to update and alert in real time all kinds of dangerous events in the surrounding area, ranging from criminal cases to pets lost. With it, you can avoid high-risk areas.
The method of use is also very simple, just go to the app store to search, after the download is complete, open the GPS location and message notification.

24hr Doorman
Of course, the most important thing is that everyone must choose a building with a 24-hour doorman. In addition to ensuring property safety, it can also check for suspicious people entering the building.
