Public transit is common in my 3rd world country and I was surprised how more unsafe it feels in the US. My theory is that it is a by product of the car centric society. For one there is safety in numbers and because it is so underused any one person is more exposed. But also because almost the only people that take the public transit is people who cannot drive or be driven for some way or the other it inevitably have a bigger proportion of mentally unstable people for example.
