Seems the subways are so safe that police are still busy hunting down early-morning riders who put their feet up on seats or -- heaven forbid!-- cross their legs. And they're doling out pricey summonses even when trains are nearly empty.


Quote from the article:

Less than two months after The Post revealed the NYPD's graveyard-shift ticket blitz, a 17-year-old Stuyvesant HS student was hit two weeks ago with a $50 fine for obstructing more than one chair -- even though there were only four other people in the subway car and his feet were on the seat's edge. Irvin Khaytman, 17, was on his way home from a birthday party two weeks ago when he got written up. He was getting off the D train to transfer to the N at the 36th Street station in Brooklyn about 2 a.m. when he was abruptly stopped by a police officer on the platform. "He said he saw my feet on the edge of the seat next to me," Khaytman said. "He said putting your feet on a seat is nasty, and since I was nasty, I deserved a ticket."
