NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — New York City officials have called for an investigation into the recent subway deaths in an effort to put the brakes on the number of incidents.
There have been six subway deaths already in 2013. The circumstances in the incidents vary, but Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer said the rash of deaths on the tracks deserves a closer look.
The city is on pace for 100 deaths this year – almost twice as many as last year, Stringer said.
“These accidents have been happening too often and to too many New Yorkers. The time is now to search for answers,” Stringer told reporters, including WCBS 880′s Peter Haskell and 1010 WINS’ Holli Haerr. “They’re something visceral and something tragic.”

The trains should be less than 17 ounces.

6 deaths in 2 1/2 weeks is a lot. That doesn't mean the rate will continue throughout the year, though.
I never rode the subways when I was in NYC-the friend I travelled with was afraid of them-fear of crime, not of falling onto the tracks . Are the platforms at all dangerous? Should they put up railings?
