I’ve never had troubles in the subway but I have seen some things that were dodgy. It’s nice to know that those are starting to go away. “Oh my god, why is this seat wet?” hasn’t happened to me … knock on wood … yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzslkqwZtVM

You can’t get away with crimes, if the train is so crowded that you can’t get away, at all!

You can’t pee on the seat, if you can’t sit in the seat, because half the seats were offered to gray haired people. Gray haired people who are also considerate, and wear adult diapers if the have incontinence issues.

This is why public transit in NY feels way safer than in LA, because so many take it. The more people ride public transit the better it will be.
