This is propaganda. The new York subways are safe.
Alt right trash
This feels like the scared, naive, suburbanite's take on cities and public transit. Like, do you really think a system with 3 million daily riders has constant brawls?
It's a comic from WokelyCorrect. I'd be surprised if they even know how to ride transit.
Oof I didn't even notice the author
I like making people laugh & I dislike Woke politics. So I made these comics for us to laugh at Woke politics together and push back against its stupidities. I will stop mocking when it leaves us alone.
Author seems to be an absolute idiot.
I legit thought the name was satire, like The SoyPill on YouTube.
Wow, it turns out he's actually serious. Jeez.
But the TV said it does! I better go get in my big emotional support truck and sit in traffic instead!
Gender affirming vehicle. Asphalt princess. Anyone got any more synonyms? I'm collecting them.
I prefer to call them Pavement Princess.
Yeah, I ride it every day and I’ve never actually seen a fight in my car.
I gather that the 80s was a whole different scene in the NYC subway. Plenty of pics out there!
Only time I was there was in '92 and it was nice enough.
Yeah, I'm not old enough to have experienced the city in the 70s and 80s. I've heard stories but it's hard to say how credible some of them are, but I believe the city is a lot nicer than it was back then.
Like, Bryant Park is a nice patch of green in Manhattan. They do yoga classes there. There's a holiday market. People used to call it needle park because it had some a drug user problem.
Places change.
yeah, I'm also not quite old enough for that, but the modern conservative narrative would have you believe that most cities are actual warzones right now that are worse than the 80s. i imagine it was similar then. it's hard to trust what people try to tell you about it anymore.

How are people upvoting this alt-right trash?
Here’s another comic by the same author
Too bad to hear about the author. I found the comic itself to be kind of funny in an absurd way.
But know that I know what his intentions are it is time to give the author the "stone toss" treatment.
That's not Trump... That's... Giorno Giovanna?
That Trump comic is still kinda funny in a lolsob kind-of way. Like, I could imagine someone who does call themselves woke making it as well. It's still saying a criminal got to be president, so...
A lot of humour is structurally the same for left and right (we're all human, despite how inhuman the other can seem), it's just a matter of how you meant it. A lefty making this joke might have an anti-consumer angle, while a ~~dipshit~~ right wing comedian would be criticising public transit or probably just being racist.
Well, from my perspective:
- Comic is funny
- I have no context of who the author is or what the author did
- It makes me feel superior about the Hong Kong mass transit railway system /hj
I have no context of who the author is or what the author did
Their usage of "woke" in the name is a clue
Your ignorance shows. You'd have more luck catching a good fight at a redneck bar for free than on the NYC subway.
Yeah did a little research
Using the available data, the rate of reported violent crime on the NYC subway in 2024 is approximately 0.79 violent crimes per million riders.

Perhaps the HK mass transit system is safer, but I’m guessing not by that much, considering the ridership and crime rates, especially because they don’t report specific crime rates for mass transit that I could find but rather generic crime statistics

Gotta love this comic with subtle tones that “public transportation is dangerous” and this comment with “Chinese public transportation isn’t dangerous.”
Safe as long as you agree with Winnie the Pooh and the CCP

100%, friend. We will never give in to dictators!
I miss 2019
That's funny, I used to live in Louisiana. I would occasionally go out drinking with my friends, and not one time did I ever not see at least one bar fight. And it didn't matter what kind of bar or club it was, it always happened. It's just a core part of society down there.
One time I was at a bar in Lake Charles and I was watching the "Malice in the Palace" which was a big fight during an NBA game where some players went into the stands and were punching fans. The TV was muted but I could still hear the sounds of the fighting; eventually it dawned on me how strange this was and I turned around to see a huge fight going on in the bar behind me with guys being thrown into tables and whatnot like an episode of Bonanza.

Thanks for the heads-up.
I don't remember actually seeing a fight in public transit in the US. Public schools, however... 👀 (There's like a fight every day in my highschool)
I seen some kids with a boom box doing some cool dances on the bart in SF
Just go to a racist town in one of the southern states. Follow some cops around
Having ridden the subway for like 20 years, I'm a little pissed that I didn't get any shows for my ticket price.

Damn the only thing unbelievable in this comic is the cost of riding the subway. Is it really that cheap?
Subway and most buses $2.90 a ride, and if you use the same payment method it has a maximum combined fare of $34 per week. That means that if you pay for 12 rides, any more rides are free within a 7 day period.
Dang that’s awesome. If I were in NY I feel like I would exceed that 12 ride limit & get free rides within the first day or two hahaha.
I used to live in Japan (in the rural north) and for a time I was also in Tokyo. Their public transportation infrastructure, while intimidating and maze-like (bullet/local trains, buses, the metro) I quickly fell in love how convenient and smoothly things ran. With a suica pass I would actually get on trains with no real destination just to enjoy the ride hahaha (and the a/c).
Also remember that the subway is a flat fare no matter how long you ride. You can go from Coney Island to the Bronx on that $2.90. and back again. You only pay again if you exit.

Careful, this comic author might figure out a way to make a new comic about how good public transportation is bad for society

All I see here is someone who doesn't ride transit.
I went to wrestlemania 18 at the Toronto skydome, $75 for great mid seats. I stopped watching wrestling 20 years ago but I wanted to take my brother for old times sake, $400 for the same type of seats for a lower show. I don’t know how people afford to go to anything anymore. Going to a restaurant now costs as much as it used to cost to have a concert night
Consolidation in real-estate and the entertainment industry are why. In real-estate it leads to higher rents and mortgages, which for restaurants makes the location more expensive, but also the staff because they need to make rent as well. In entertainment it's all just ticketmaster, which owns venues and the ticketing system. That makes them able to double dip on every ticket, since they can charge exorbitant rents for event locations, and also take IIRC a 30% fee on every ticket sold.
People pay thousands of dollars for shrink-wrapped copies of games I rented for $5 as a child. Alcohol use is down. Drug use is down. Pregnancy is down. All this other nonsense is way up.
Thousands...?
Other than a handful of ubercollectors when does that ever happen?
Yes. The ubercollectors pay that much. Below them is another, larger tier of collectors who pay hundreds for these old games.
Or I could pay $5,000 for shitty seats and see a UFC fight at the Whitehouse.
