It’s true. I grew up in NY in the ‘50s and ‘60s. We kids rode the trains without parents a lot.
My first year of college was spent at CCNY in Manhattan. I took the subway every day to get to class. This was back in the early 70s. Even then it was risky. You definitely needed to hone your situational awareness skills.
You never, NEVER stood near the edge of the platform waiting for the train. Even back then there were people getting pushed onto the tracks.
