Transit security lax: pols
The City Council yesterday ripped the MTA as soft on security and said the agency must get cameras and passenger intercoms up and running immediately.
“It’s 2010, almost 10 years after 9/11, and we don’t have working cameras in every station,” fumed Councilman Peter Vallone, chairman of the council’s public-safety committee. “You say security’s one of your priorities. It hasn’t been.”
MTA officials vowed to have all 2,100 cameras installed by 2011. Meanwhile, a train fatally struck a man who had walked into the tunnel on the No. 4 line near 23rd Street in Manhattan.
