Over a dozen deaths and injuries from "subway surfing" in NYC prompt MTA to explore safety measures.

Over a dozen people, mainly young boys, have died or been injured in New York City while attempting to "subway surf," climbing on top of moving trains. Despite efforts like public awareness campaigns and drone surveillance, the issue persists. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is studying potential solutions, including making trains harder to climb and using technology to detect surfers, though no specific proposals have been made. The MTA has asked social media to remove videos glamorizing the activity and promoted public service announcements urging safety.
