Subway safety is on the right track, according to new statistics that show a drop in transit crime.

To mark one year since Gov. Kathy Hochul launched her subway safety plan, the state on Thursday released encouraging numbers. 

So far this year in the transit system, arrests are up 71% and major transit crimes are down 29% compared to the same time last year. 

The governor’s five-point plan included adding more security cameras to trains, protective barriers to some platforms and more police officers in the subways. 

Two hundred and fifty National Guard members were also directed to monitor stations. 

While some straphangers said they were skeptical about the statistics, one New Yorker said he used to be afraid to take the train, but changed his commute two months ago.

"I used to be. That's why I used to drive to work most times, and then I decided to come back to the subway system because I saw the improvement,” the subway rider told NY1. 

In January, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch also added two officers to every overnight train from 9 p.m. to 5 am. 

Some commuters say they want to see more cops, while others believe officers focus too much on low-level crime.

Ridership is also up 7% so far this year compared to the same time last year, the statistics released Thursday show. 

In a statement, Hochul said, “Keeping New Yorkers safe is my top priority — and I’ll never stop working to ensure riders can rely on our subways to safely get wherever they need to go.” 

“By adding uniformed officers to every train, fortifying our transit infrastructure, and expanding mental health outreach, we've made real progress in driving down transit crime,” she added. “Working in partnership with law enforcement, district attorneys and mental health experts, we're working to make the subways safer for every straphanger.”
