Riders Alliance Community Organizer Danna Dennis: “Riders need more subways and buses, not an expensive new police force. Governor Cuomo should cancel his order for the MTA to hire new police officers it cannot afford and doesn’t need. The governor needs to face the facts: crime is down and ridership is up. New Yorkers need more service and less surveillance, more public transit and less abuse of the public trust.”
