Nope.

I don’t take the train because I don’t want to step in piss or worry about being jumped by the homeless.

Do whatever you want with your car narrative. The trains aren’t safe, and you have to be very aware while on public transportation. Some people don’t want to spend their commute looking at the sketchy person wondering if this is it

Uh no? “Unsafe” suggests that it’s like something happens to you. It is incredibly unlikely, and safer than traveling by car.

Now the condition of the trains and stations is a whole other discussion.

Yr getting down voted by ppl who i am sure consider it assault to be looked at by some who they think is poor, i can only assume.

Septa is in a sad state, lotta inequality and hopelessness and drug use in this city, too many guns, but i feel like there has been a serious uptick in paranoia fed by citizens app type shit in recent years and it is doing very serious damage to the social fabric....anyways, always happy to see people pointing that out. Cheers.
