The MTA launched a new 'Subway Bingo' game to make riding a fun experience, but some riders say what they want most is a safe, crime-free experience. NatDuddridgeTV reports.
So, how do you play? Find the bingo board , find five items in a row or column and take pictures, post on Instagram and tag the @MTA, and you'll be entered to win a prize.
"A fun way for commuters to reconnect with beloved landmarks," said Shanifah Rieara, MTA acting chief customer officer. Duddridge found the subway clerk booth, wooden bench, subway map, and globe entrance - almost bingo - just missing the sunset view from a subway window. But some subway riders say a distraction is the last thing they need with transit crime up 40% this year over last.
"I actually don't think it's a good idea. You need to be paying attention," said subway rider Kiiana Campbell. "If they focused on safety an predictability, the things that really important to commuters, that would help," said straphanger Steve Daniels. As Duddridge was talking to riders, say a 36-year-old man was punched ont he 4 train at the Fulton Street subway. The suspect stole his cell phone, took off but was quickly arrested. Games aside, the MTA says it has always been clear about their main priority.
