I live next to a train station in San Diego (one of those high-density near public transport setups, in a comfortable/safe apartment). Safety is what prevents me from taking it anywhere, I see fights at the station on a worryingly more regular basis, arrests every few weeks, and yelling almost daily (all witnessed from my apartment window). I've seen in the news that teenagers have been victims of an armed robbery on or near the train station just after mine (amaya) last summer. The San Diego trolley really needs a transport police officer on every station and in every train. I feel bad for the people whom this this the only transport option for. The system actually seems well designed as far as the trains, station location, and future growth plans go. But with no ticket based access-control on trains (seriously just walk on) and pretty limited police coverage, it just doesn't seem able to reach its potential.
