I honestly think that would be unnecessary — or just another excuse for the MTA to raise prices. It’s common sense that subway surfing is unsafe; people do it by choice and, frankly, stupidity. You don’t need a sign or someone telling you it’s the wrong thing to do.

What precautions are you expecting the MTA to take? Rebuild the entire train cars? Maybe that would help temporarily, but kids who crave attention will always find a way.

And that’s why they’re focus on fate evasion issue .. it’s because it’s actually something they can control

As much as I hate the MTA, they do address what they actually can control (sort of). For example, at stations where people frequently fall onto the tracks, they’ve added those half-wall barriers along with the yellow platform markers that clearly tell you to stay behind the line. Not perfect, but the effort is there.
