Reply to comment by ketzal7 in If you build more public transit, they will come back by psychothumbs

I drive to and from work every day in NYC and I drive for a living. Before I used to drive, I relied on transit and I always saw some shit.

I take the express bus to work (Bronx) now. I could never go back to taking the subway daily. Way too much riff raff and non sense. And as a small Asian woman I make sure to carry pepper spray when I do take the subway because I’ve never felt completely safe taking it alone in the Bronx since 2020 after dealing with racial harassment (even got the guy arrested thankfully) Edit: Bring on the downvotes -especially from all you white privileged Manhattanites!

When in 1993? Fox isn't reality.

Nah, mid to late 2000's. Stop making silly assumptions regarding Fox, it's getting old.

Right, so almost as invalid.

Considering your name just screams MTA fanboi, your response means jack shit to me too.

Transit is an order of magnitude safer than driving. That's just a fact. And really, what would you know? You haven't ridden the train in 15 years.
