The new “modern” trains account for these issues I hope. Why are kids able to climb the cars? Why is it so easy to fall into the tracks from platforms? Maybe the city and MTA can help by designing a safer Subway system. Kids are going to continue to do dumb things until they learn, but not if they die from stupid decisions. There will be more of this and the subway pushers. News like this does more damage then good in my opinion, all it does is tell kids and mentally unstable people what’s possible.

Mass transit exists so millions of New Yorkers can go to work and school. It makes little sense to spend limited dollars to idiot-proof the system for the dumbest percentile of the population.

Incredible how many downvotes you’re getting. As if these kids deserved for their lives to be extinguished because they made bad decisions. So many are killed accidentally, or pushed as you said. In many parts of Europe, Asia, all the trains and platforms have built-in safety measures. It’s absurd NYC still doesn’t. If only people would stop turnstile hopping (sarcasm)
