[quote=spdrun]So what? There’s never been an instance of road rage where someone ends up shot or stabbed, or a fight in a public place like a bar or stadium? Right. Shit happens. It’s not as if this happens every day. I’m not going to sit at home cooped up because there’s an 0.001% chance that some psycho might stab me because I looked in the wrong direction.
And he’s not dead. Hope he makes a full recovery and that the jerk who stabbed him ends up being shivved in prison.
However, I’d glad that no video footage exists. Seems to be no video surveillance on the trolley cars, which is a win for privacy even if some crims get away.[/quote]
My point is I think people on the lower economic ladder and more mentally unstable people tend to ride more public transportation. They are the ones more likely to stab people for checking out or just glancing or not even glancing at their girl or looking at them…(you can get shot for looking at anyone it seems).
This supports my claim that public transportation is a tough sell in a lot of areas since normal/rich/non-crazy people don’t want to be near/around stupid/crazy/psychotic people who “may” do this.
Yes, you can also get road raged by someone on the road daily, but I think most people and many women will feel safer in their own car than on a bus/train/trolley around sketchy guys/crazed people.
