i second this, im going to university in san jose rn but im from nyc (going home next week yay) and i was just thinking today about how i feel safer on the streets of nyc at 10 pm then I do in california at like only 5 pm. to add on to what marxinista said i would say avoid subway cars that are not too crowded or more or less devoid of people; try to get into cars that have a good amount of people if possible. having a friend together with you also ups your safety, and just keep your wits about you, dont look at your phone, just keep looking up and around and show visually that you are alert and aware of your surroundings. If someone is doing a um quirky thing just ignore them, confrontation is the gamebreaker with those kinds of people. Even if they're saying things seemingly directed at you I know it's hard but just act as if you can't hear or see them. once the train hits a stop you can switch cars like marx said. If it helps you feel any better, this is also coming from a 20 year old female of short stature, so I'm not speaking from a place of ignorance ;w; I definitely understand the concerns and want you to stay safe out there! But I think it'll be fine as long as you keep your wits about you. Enjoy your time in NYC and have fun! 🥺
