Public transit is safer than driving. You are far more likely to be killed driving your own car than be stabbed on the bus.

- nerdchum 4y agoI don't think I said killed one time. I said 'robbed' and 'sitting next to someone who has peed themselves'. Of which the chance is infinitely higher on mass transit than your own vehicle. Unless you date sketch people then either of those is possible ;)

- dionidium 4y agoTransit advocates should take seriously that nobody cares if this is true. The modal American will accept an increase in rare, catastrophic risk to avoid the extreme levels of disorder on American public transit. You're not going to statistics-lecture people out of avoiding intolerable levels of disorder. We evolved a special fear of interpersonal violence and being around unstable strangers makes most people extremely uncomfortable. That's not going away.
