Despite a series of shocking violent incidents, the subway crime has reportedly plunged to levels not seen in decades in the Big Apple.
The New York Police Department announced in March that subway crime was down 21.5 percent from the same time last year, after Mayor Eric Adams ordered more cops to patrol the underground transit system.
In the first nine weeks of 2023, authorities said, cops doled out nearly 10,000 more summonses than at the start of last year.
Every category of serious felonies was down, except for burglaries, which remained flat with two reported so far this year.
Those were the lowest levels of felony crime on the subways dating back to the beginning of the data-collecting Compstat system in the mid-1990s, the New York Post reported, excluding the kickoff of 2021 when the COVID pandemic hit.
