[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people complaining about metro are living in an alternate reality.  I have taken metro almost daily for 20 years.  I’ve never seen a real crime.  Never seen anyone masturbating.  Stinkiness is rare (more common in the summer afternoon/evening—I do wish male workers would wear more reasonable clothes for DC summers).  Loud music only once or twice in twenty minutes years.  Have seen mentally ill people doing something troublesome a few times in twenty years.  
I don’t know what Mad Max scenario these metro critics are envisioning but it does not match my experience.  And it is still cheaper than downtown parking.  
Fwiw, I’m a middle aged white lady from the suburbs and probably more crime averse than average.  I wouldn’t ride around the city by msyself at midnight but commuting is totally fine.[/quote]

Read personal horror stories here of women in the area trapped by men sitting next to them and jerking off:

Exactly why driving is so much better.  Don’t have to deal with cretins the city and metro police do nothing about.
