Whoa, this is moronic. Why people don’t use mass transit isn’t about crime, most of which isn’t reported anyway 1.
What causes people to avoid hopping on the bus or train is that they’ll nearly always have bug-eyed crazy demented people on there harassing and hassling anyone in sight. It’s worse for women, but nearly every time I’ve been on public transit in the US one of these sleazeballs is present too. It makes it extremely unpleasant. I don’t have any of that in my car, so my car it’ll be.
How you can just, like a fucking idiot clown, pretend this is not a factor, I have not a clue. But it tells me you’re being intellectually dishonest and disingenuous.
