Do you feel safe riding the trains in NYC ?

-
Hello coffee Lovers, I have been reading up and realizing some things we should lall discuss even if we don’t live in NYC but we might have friends or relatives over there. According to https://www.governor.ny.gov/ Mayor Adams Announce Major Actions to Keep Subways Safe and Address Transit Crime, Building on Ongoing State and City Collaboration. Now how many times have we heard from people who swore that they will keep the people safe? I feel as though it's getting worse out there. The violence is so bad that I fear for my husband. He works for the MTa and everyday he goes to work i stay up worrying about how things can go wrong.
It has been said that Mayor Adam is putting more officers in the train stations but they will be unarmed. My question is how will that help? These people who are being violent are attacking officers who have weapons. Imagine those without? As i was speaking to my husband i realized that he and other mta staff members or those who actually ride the trains know more or less where their dangerous areas are. They should have a say so where the officers should be stationed at. The people should be heard. A mayor will never willingly go on a train without protection and why should the people do the same. According to https://www.npr.org/ crime rate in subways are roughly 60% of what it was in 2019. Can you imagine those numbers? Can the officers feel threatened too? These days there are cameras and recordings of things that happen, yet only a small percentage of them actually get caught. Most don’t even stay behind bars for long. What I'm saying is, sure numbers mean a lot when it comes to crimes in NYC but the words of the people in The subways mean more. Especially those who take these trains after work hours are just trying or just trying to get to work. They know more than those who claim to say they are safe but never really spent more than 5 minutes for 1 stop to the next station. The people who travel everyday know where the officers are needed and it's not just in the most expensive areas it's in places that the officers refuse to be around. There has to be a way to get the people in nyc to tell their experience and what they have witnessed. They know the truth, the conductors and train operators know the truth even those who clean the platform can tell you the truth. Let the people teach you what's good for them, don't expect to know what they want without hearing it from them. I am not talking about just first class, I'm talking about middle class and all the classes below as well. Don’t predict their future, let them survive by showing you the present. Below is a link to some of the stories I told about what I saw in the NYC transit system. Don’t be afraid to tell yours. https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B0B17JY2HL Until next time, talk to you latte. #nyctransitsystem #forthepeople #bloggers #trainoperators #trainstation #OMGwhatdidyousee? #stories #fyp #conversations #thetruth #vanessaawriter

Hello Coffee Lovers, Today, I was drinking my coffee. As I was enjoying my drink, watching a show called (The Resident), I am pretty sure many people are familiar with it. I found it while strolling on Netflix.Of course, it's no Grey’s Anatomy. Somehow it had a way of catching my attention. I am discussing this with you because a few of the episodes were about being addicted to one thing or another and trying to help them. I feel as though anyone happened to know one or even has been through it yourself. Today, of course, it may be a bit easier to get help with the many programs they have now. They also have online help and video chatting.Now, my question to all my readers is, do you believe that those who are addicted to drugs or drinking. Can they be helped? The statistics show that eventually, they will fall off the wagon.I must admit that many people try really hard to change,but the percentage of Relapse is Between 40% and 60%. When you think about those scary static ...

Hello coffee Lovers, The conversation we are about to have is very deep and very informational at least to me and I hope to you readers as well. I suggest you grab your coffee closer to your lattes steamer and espresso shots that will keep you going through this. Get ready and let's talk about what most of the world has. Anxiety. Everyone is scared of this word and to be honest ist so natural these days. I have my own story to tell how I didn't know I had it until my younger 20’s. I was stressed out about my job. I just quit it because he was a true womanizer. I couldn't take any more of it. I quit and while thinking about it on the way out I thought about my past and I thought of things I could have been, I got in my head so much by the time I got home my heart was beating right out of my chest. I felt light headed and I couldn't breathe. My heart started to beat faster and i felt myself locking up.Not being able to move.I was on my bed just thinking thats it. I a...

Hello coffee lovers, I have been drinking coffee for a very long time, Since maybe the age of 10. Knowing that I can drink coffee and still think about my past, we know that the past has a way of alway being in the back of your mind. Like I remember drinking coffee at 6am in the morning with my stepmom and playing Mario Bros. Some memories go away or you forget but some memories of the past you cannot forget. Let's Talk about victims in young ages who can’t forget their past even if they wanted to. Abuse is a word that carries a huge amount of weight, yet it's one of the many people who struggle to fully understand until they've experienced it firsthand.

This is my journey from victim to a survivor ,and I hope that by sharing my story,others who have faced similar struggles will find the strength to speak out and seek help. Abuse can take m...
