Councilman Gentile says slower subway trains will save lives
Most subway riders would like the train to arrive faster so that they can get to their destination quicker. But Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) is taking the opposite approach. The view Gentile is expressing these days is similar to the lyrics of an old Paul Simon song, “Slow down, you move too fast.”
Gentile said he wants New York City Transit to instruct the motormen driving trains to slow down when entering subway stations.
It will save lives, according to the councilman.
