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.
