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.
I love not having to drive. And taking a convenient light rail or bus to meet friends at the bar is great.
My only complaint is my current city has a really bad issue with people camping out on the train cars, trying to do Google authenticator scams. Or I've had a few high as heck jerking off in the car.
Google authenticator scams on train cars?
Copy/pasting my response from elsewhere here, sorry.
Sorry, I should have said recovery scam, I guess. They come up and ask if you can help them get access to their google account because they got locked out and [insert excuse why they cant get the code]. They ask you to put in your email so a recovery code for their account goes to you and would you please give them the code so they can get into their account. But its actually your account.
I'm actually not 100% sure how this works, but it's like the Steam access code scam.
Since most people use the same email for everything, they can gain access to services through password resets after they lock you out of your own account.
