I've been to NYC 5 times this year alone and ride the subway and other public transportation all the time (including a r/t on the LIRR/Air Train to JFK two weeks ago). I think that the subway is generally, surprisingly safe, but also that the EWR Express bus would be safer still...and more comfortable.
