Despite efforts to curb subway surfing through public service campaigns and efforts to get social media companies to take down videos, the problem persists.

According to police, a teenage girl is the sixth person to die this year while subway surfing this year.

The incident happened Sunday night at the 111th Street station on the 7 line in Corona, Queens, police said. Her friend is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

“That’s the problem. They think their life is an easy game,” straphanger Bryan Rombat said.

Now, there are more people who’ve died while subway surfing, so far, this year, than all of last year.

“If the cops over there can deter a kid from riding on trains, they can save a kid’s life,” Rombat said.

Officers have ramped up enforcement in the last year.

Whether it’s because riding on top of trains has become more popular or because of the increased NYPD security, arrests of people attempting to subway surf have jumped more than 50%, with two more months still left in the year, according to officials.

“We really want people to get the sense this is life-or-death matter. The consequences, there [are] no do-overs,” New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow said.

Crichlow said it’s a joyride that leaves families devastated.

According to the MTA, the agency has gotten TikTok and Meta to take down thousands of videos of people subway surfing that have been posted online.
