My friend recently visited New York, and I have a few questions about the subway.
1) is it like dangerous to use the subway in terms of crime etc? my friend says it isn't but there are misconceptions sometimes.
2) do all teh different types of train run on all lines, or is it a specific line for each train, like London (e.g. the northern line will only have one type of train on it, and not like trains used on other lines)?
3)is there any control of trains on the subway? My friend said how there have been many accidents on the subway over the years, and he proved it to me by googling it. he found http://www.nycsubway.org/cars/currentfleet.html which shows all the different types of trains on the subway, and when you click on each type of train you will see a few accidents. look at it and you will get what I mean. Is there like no prevention thing, like signalling things that would stop the train, i have no idea what they would be called, because there seem to be a lot of collisions
