New York City Subway Riders Overwhelmingly Support Two-Person Crews on Trains. A recent poll conducted among subway riders has found that an astonishing 80% of respondents prefer to see two-person crews reinstated on trains. This comes as a significant blow to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) which has been considering a plan to reduce crew sizes to one person per train in an effort to cut costs. The MTA's proposal has been met with fierce opposition from labor unions and many riders who argue that a two-person crew is essential for ensuring public safety and providing better customer service.
