While police and transit should deal with incidents that do inevitably happen, but I don't think fear of potential incidents is something they can fix. It may be that the person with the fear simply doesn't like to live in a large city.

- nradov 8y agoI'm not just referring to large cities. The same fear of public transportation impacts small and medium cities throughout the Bay Area. Many people will continue to live in those cities, but choose to drive their own cars or use ride sharing services. It's a significant obstacle to increasing public transit usage and we'll have to find a solution if we want to reduce traffic congestion.
