**Gaslighting in the Subway: New Yorkers Not Buying the Rhetoric on Crime**
In a shocking display of denial, the CEO of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Janno Lieber, has downplayed the very real concerns of subway riders facing escalating violence.
During a recent interview, Lieber claimed that fears over subway crime are merely “in people’s heads,” an assertion that many commuters find not only dismissive but dangerously misleading.
As highlighted in recent reports, New York has seen a steep increase in violent crimes on its subway system, with felony assaults soaring by 65% since 2019.
This is no mere statistical anomaly. The grim reality includes tragic incidents such as a woman being set on fire and others being violently shoved onto train tracks. Yet Lieber chose to focus on the overall crime statistics, which conveniently ignore the spike in violence affecting vulnerable commuters daily.
Thus far, the response from the city’s leadership—including Governor Kathy Hochul—has been to deploy the National Guard, indicating a clear acknowledgment that crime is not only significant but requires urgent attention. The protests from concerned citizens underscore the disconnect between the MTA’s management and the daily experiences of New Yorkers.
Public figures, including Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, have criticized the official narrative, emphasizing that the real fear of crime in the subway is not just psychological—it is a daily threat that endangers lives.
While Lieber attempts to downplay the concerns of New Yorkers, the reality cannot be ignored. Commuters experience the tangible threat of violence, and their calls for safer transit conditions should not be disregarded.
It is time for New York's leaders to not only acknowledge the surge in crime but to take decisive actions to protect their citizens, rather than gaslight them into believing that the dangers they face are products of exaggerated fears. The safety of millions depends on facing the harsh truth rather than spinning narratives that serve political agendas.
In the fight for public safety, listening to the concerns of everyday New Yorkers must be the first step.
