People get stabbed on busses here. I'll drive everywhere, thanks.

I’m with you on this one, not sure why you’re being downvoted. Until public transport is safe, which it has never been in my experience (as a lifelong public transport user in many countries), I’ll walk or cycle. Or, well, now I live rurally so there’s no public transport, and I’m reluctantly driving everywhere.

Really? I'm also not sure why exactly he's being downvoted, but only bc there's many possible reasons.
- There's no way transit-stabbings are a real problem, anywhere. Even in the grungiest places, it has to be a fake problem like elevator cables snapping or plane crashes and it's all fear-mongering.
- You can make these comments everywhere and they're always unhelpful. Oh, a "bus is high capacity" post? Yeah, but they're unsafe here, I'll pass. Oh, a "bus is super safe" post? Yeah, but they're very infrequent here, I'll pass. Oh, a "bus is super frequent post"? Yeah, but we only have small ones, I'll pass.
- The comment implies smug dismissal, yet that problem and the post's problem have the same solution: more investments in public transport.

Agreed!

When everyone has to take the bus, it might become safer. Until then, it will be neglected.
-
Bet you good money that the risk of getting stabbed on the bus is far lower than the risk of getting in a car crash.
-
People get shot when driving too, you wanna walk now?
-
Not where I live.
