MTA's 'Courtesy Counts' Campaign Urges Subway Riders to Behave Respectfully

The MTA has launched a new ad campaign called "Courtesy Counts" to remind New York City subway riders about basic etiquette and common decency. The campaign aims to address issues such as leaving trash on the train, using headphones, allowing others to exit before boarding, and not blocking the doors. The initiative comes as the subway system experiences a rebound in ridership, with a new post-pandemic record of 4.2 million paid rides on September 20. The campaign will also extend to the region's commuter rail system.
