I just love we have this nice simple solution to fix traffic congestion and its been around for so long. It even hurts when people say "im forced to take public transit" like really? Owning a car is not a right. I personally do not get the hate for public transportation.

My father when he visits the city to see me refuses to use the subway, even though it's a five minute ride from where he parks his car - he ubers instead. It's because he is frightened being trapped in a box with the poors.

When i got into work, coworkers asked me how i got in and i said Subway, they joked about having to avoid getting stabbed.

My friends are voting conservative in the upcoming election because they've seen too many poor people on the street engaging in anti-social behaviour (being drunk, and talking loud)

It's fucking insanity to me.

mindblowing that people think you just get stabbed all the time on the subway. I live in Toronto and have taken buses, trains, streetcars, the SRT and the subway. The only complaint i have had is that I wish there was more funding for public transit to improve service. I have seen drunks and homeless people on the subway/bus/streetcar before, but never have had a problem. What people SHOULD be making an issue about is how these people end up in this situations, and how we can help them, and also be proactive and avoid it from happening in the future to more people.
