According to this, the number of registered crimes in the subways has fallen continuously since statistical recording began in 2018.

According to police crime statistics (PKS) NRW, there were a total of 9,491 penalties in 2018, and 7,555 criminal incidents were recorded in 2019. In 2020 there were 4507, last year 2021 the number fell to 1507 crimes. According to statistics, in the first half of 2022, 932 crimes were registered in the "subway (train) location".
