You're entitled to your incorrect opinion. I like mass transit for reasons like removing my need to pay attention for every second of a trip, for much reduced cost per mile, and for meeting/looking at interesting people.

Most people seem to agree. You can't move a coffee table on it (though I have, my apologies from a now-wisened teenager), but that's what stuff like car share services can step in on.

Who's denying you service, and why? The driver is way at the front of the train, what are you on about?

Yep, my lifetime of assault and harassment on public transit is just an incorrect opinion. Fuck my lived experiences and those of everyone else, the only perspective that matters is your own because all that matters is you getting what you want.

Ugh. Just ugh.

Alright grumpy, calm down. I'll repeat the question: what happened? That's as much energy as I'm willing to give the weak crying.

Literally 1.7 billion rides on the NYC subway system in 2019, it seems to work great for us. I dress in weird shiny rubber clothes sometimes while going to a party or whatever, I get looks of curiosity or derision from other passengers sometimes, and I don't give a shit. Are you just that sensitive?

Wow, holy shit, your best response is childish name calling and tone policing.

Everyone, this is what abusive people do when they are willing to be immoral to get what they want. When faced with a legitimate grievance they can't refute, they attack the person, in this case in the most blatantly childish way possible.

Basically he knows forcing people to use public transit will cause innocent people to suffer more violence but he doesn't care about that, he only cares about his feelings and he's willing to force you to be beaten, assaulted, even killed to get his way.

Think of your daughters and wives who would be groped, beaten, sexually assaulted, and murdered in the name of appeasing this hopeless retard, and then ignore him.

I don't agree with your conclusion that public transit is responsible for assault and murder.

What you are essentially suggesting is breaking up society and isolating everyone so people can't harm each other. That is an extreme solution to this problem

You also forget about all the people suffering from cars: thousands of deaths each year (compared to how many in subways?) from accidents and pollution.
