Which actually isn’t a terrible solution around key pieces of public transportation infrastructure. It doesn’t solve the problem but it mitigates a problem. Now that problem is generally one of perception rather than real risk but you have to make policy for how people actually behave and not should behave.
So if moving problems away from transit via more police officers makes people feel safer on transit and increases ridership which in turn makes people feel safer it isn’t the worst idea.
