I love public transportation. The only time I was ever uncomfortable about myself or my wife using it was during the pandemic.
There was the Covid concerns but the real problem I had was crime rates skyrocketed in the downtown area where we usually exchanged buses. So we stopped doing that and bought bicycles to ride instead for awhile.
FTFY. Public transport is not like that in other places.
Doesn’t sound like they were saying they hate the US at all, just the US’ public transport infrastructure or lack thereof and the fighting that occurs on it
No, they said they don’t like public transport…
Let me edit that to say public transport infrastructure then
Or maybe strike the part where you said „hate“ because you made that up, and instead add the opium epidemic, homelessness crisis, and rampant gun violence, which all contribute to the issue that public transport is much less pleasant than in other places.
I'm not sure I've heard of gun violence being a big thing on public transport.
If you don't like the US then say it yourself, no need to put the words in other people's mouths
