It was clearly addressed in those cities because they were built 70 years later. Here's the line-of sight in an average WMATA station 

And here's the LOS in New York:



Crowded visual areas dont translate well to CCTV (especially since people have a habit of vandalizing the cameras). But you know, union bad, just making things up.
 

Depends on how to do it.
Our HCMTs have cameras on the sides of every car.

You can see the them on the side here. These will be over 700ft when they add 3 cars to each unit.

What happens on Tweet Twott doesn’t count for the entire story. That’s just hearsay. The L has 5 stops in Manhattan and 20 in Brooklyn. Even though the  is CBTC, which has them run frequently with good communication from the lights, 25 stop One Person Train Operation on that line is not supportive. The  has more volume at all times of the night. Then there is safety: 

1) what happens if the passenger gets robbed on the last car of an 8 car train? The operator has to walk all the way to the last car to see the incident, delaying service. Especially in a dangerous sections of Brooklyn. 
2) something happens or a fire breaks out? And there is only one personal there. Cameras won’t solve issues on the  line unless there is an uniformed NYPD officer in it. 

CCTV camers inside the train should deal with that issue.  Our trains have Passenger Emergency Intercoms that when activated trigger the closest camera.
