National Guard called to New York City subways — A conductor waits for customers to embark a train at Grand Central Terminal, Tuesday, March 17, 2020, in New York. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it is facing a "financial calamity" as ridership on subways and commuter rail lines has nose-dived as people stay home to avoid the new coronavirus.

(The Center Square) – Gov. Kathy Hochul did Mayor Eric Adams one better Wednesday when she said the National Guard would be called to the subways of New York City.

Each responding to a spike in crime on the city’s transit system, Adams on Tuesday said more police officers would be in subway stations and bag checks would be reinstituted.
