In a shocking display of disrespect for public space and the transit system, a video capturing a man urinating on a subway platform has gone viral, prompting Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres to speak out against the “broken” subway system. The disturbing footage, which has been circulating on social media, shows a man relieving himself on the platform as other passengers watch in disbelief.
Congressman Torres, who has been a vocal advocate for improving public transportation in New York City, slammed the city transit system for wasting billions of dollars on addressing fare evasion while failing to address more pressing issues such as cleanliness and safety. Torres called the video a “symptom of a broader malaise in the subway system” and urged the city to prioritize fixing the rampant problems that plague the subway system.
The video serves as a stark reminder of the deteriorating conditions that passengers face on a daily basis while navigating the city’s subway system. From delays and overcrowding to crime and unsanitary conditions, riders have long expressed frustration with the state of public transportation in New York City.
As the video continues to circulate online, it has sparked a renewed conversation about the need for systemic changes to address the issues that have plagued the subway system for far too long. With lawmakers like Congressman Torres calling for action, it is clear that more must be done to restore the public’s faith in the city’s transit system and ensure that all passengers can travel safely and comfortably.
