"One thing I've learned about these crimes from the transit police is that there really doesn't seem to be any one subway line here that's worse than the others, and there are no crimeprone stations in the Bronx subway system the way there are in mid-Manhattan where there are so many more people," Miss Jennings said. "It seems that one of the biggest problems, in all of the boroughs outside Manhattan, is that it can be dangerous in outlying areas even in low-crime neighborhoods because it's more likely that the stations and even the trains will be deserted," she said. Just last Tuesday, the wife of Assemblyman G.

Oliver Koppell was robbed at knifepoint at mid-day in a subway car in Riverdale where she and the mugger were the only passengers. And three Bronx teenagers were charged Thursday with five armed subway robberies and one rape in a two-( week period all against one or two women on nearly empty trains or deserted platforms in relatively low-: crime neighborhoods. "The rape took place at the Baychester station. As I understand it, the most active time on that station is when high school kids are coming and going otherwise it's pretty empty," Miss Jennings said. Although Miss Jennings is handling the subway felonies alone for said he will expand the bureau if the volume of work demands it.

His Major Offense Bureau, which started with a handful of people, now has a staff of 25, he said. On another front, Merola said he has also been trying to sell legislators on the idea of setting stronger penalties for subway crimes than for street crimes. "Being in the subway is not the same as being in the street, and people who commit crimes in the subways should be dealt with more harshly than street criminals. When you're on the subway, you're a captive of the criminals when you're in the street, you can run away," Merola said. With his new Subway Crime Bureau.

Merola is joining other city officials who have pledged recently to step up their war on underground crime. The "honeymoon" is apparently over for Assistant District Attorney Mary Ann Jennings, the new special prosecutor for subway crime in the Bronx. After nearly two weeks on the job with only minor incidents coming in, she got her first major case Thursday night with the arrest of three teen-agers for a string of armed robberies and a rape on the White Plains Road and Pelham lines. She got her second major case a few hours later, when transit police hauled in twin brothers for holding up a lawyer on a southbound train on the IND line. "I guess this is the way it will be from now on.

From iwhat the transit police have been telling me, the overwhelming problem they have on the subways is muggings, muggings and more muggings," Miss Jennings fcaid in an interview Friday, while she waited for the five suspects to be called for arraignments. Miss Jennings, a Bronx native who has been a prosecutor for 4l2 years, was put in charge of the Subway Bureau created two weeks ago by Bronx District Attorney Mario Merola. Her responsibilities include seeing all subway crime cases in the borough through the court system, staying breast of "open" or unsolved cases and watching for trends both in the types of crimes committed and the locations. The new bureau is modeled after a number of other specialized units in the DA's office including the very successful Major Offense Bureau for career criminals, which has a 97 percent conviction rate. "We've proven with our other bureaus that we get better results with specialization.

And by doing it this way, we can get a better handle on subway crime," Me-Jrola said. According to transit police statistics, there were reported felonies on Bronx subways in 1981, four murders, eight rapes or attempts, 965 robberies involving force or intimidation, 764 thefts such as purse-snatching, 126 assaults, 55 burglaries of concession stands and other buildings and 313 miscellaneous crimes.
