New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced a new $77 million plan to clamp down on subway crime, while the MTA has also begun installing spikes on some of its turnstiles to stop fare evaders.

Gov. Kathy Hochul was forced to significantly acknowledge subway crime and mental illness in her policy-setting “State of the State” annual address Tuesday — but critics panned her proposals as largely “symbolic.”

The MTA is trying to crack down on fare evasion in the NYC subway system by using "spikes" on the turnstile handrails.
