NYC subway crime dropped 36% in January 2025 while ridership increased by 13.1% following the implementation of congestion pricing. Mayor Eric Adams attributes the decline to increased police presence, including 1,200 additional NYPD officers and 300 officers patrolling overnight trains, alongside Governor Hochul's $77 million initiative for enhanced security measures.
