    I met Leona Jones at Jay St. - Metro Tech back in August, 2019. I did, in fact, go away satisfied. MTA needs a lot more like her.

      In New York, they're basically the same thing, they're supposed to contact the police if people jump the turnstiles. But what do they do if it's a whole bunch of people. They're powerless. The only way they can stop that is if the police are actually in the station. The police are only in the station during rush hour.
