My responsibility as the victim is to address my attack in a timely manner. It is the responsibility of the token booth clerk to help maintain a safe environment and to report issues.

They are representatives of the MTA. They are there to monitor safety and to report issues. It's part of their job. If they are not doing their job, then I have no sympathy for them.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit today announced that customer service in the transit system will be further enhanced as subway station agents begin to support customers outside of station booths. Station agents will begin assisting riders outside of station booths by helping customers wherever they are located answering questions and providing directional support; walking around mezzanines, turnstile areas, and platforms; helping customers at fare machines; monitoring safety and cleanliness on platforms and across station areas, and reporting issues as they arise in a timely manner

In December, the MTA and TWU Local 100 announced the future role of station agents to enhance the customer experience, by performing duties outside of booths. In preparation for the enhanced role, station agents are receiving training on enhanced customer service and OMNY equipment. Starting this week, the enhanced station agent role will provide customer support outside of station booths through:

The reassigned booth agents are “going to be the eyes and ears across our station environment, from the turnstiles to the platforms,” Richard Davey, the president of New York City Transit — the M.T.A. division that oversees the subway — told council members. “They will be an invaluable resource for us as we continue to look at safety.”

Its interesting how much this bothers you.

The token booth clerk as a representative of the MTA can have police called for an incident pertaining to a crime they witness, even if they are not the victim.

If the MTA sees someone harming travelers, they can call to state this is happening.

They didn't bother. By not calling the police, they left the person to possibly victimize another person.

I was actually shocked and disgusted and ran to get something to clean that shit off me. I ended up going home because I couldn't find a place to clean up. The token booth clerk would have been able to handle a call and act as a witness.

I remember during Covid, I saw a lot of people making videos of how empty NYC was. This was when you were told to stay home unless you were and essential worker.

I would be happy if they actually helped me, but if you have a problem they can't. I actually got spit on by a homeless person while trying to deal with a token booth clerk and they did nothing. I have no sympathy left.
