[quote=Anonymous][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]

Just because you appear to always have your head in the sand while commuting doesn't mean these things don't happen daily.

There was a group of teens harassing two moms on Monday. One mom sat down in a seat that the teens had deemed was "their zone" even though no one in their group was using it.

"Is this bish really gona sit right here? On today? On the day of our freedom? I know you wildin!" "yo, it's Juneteenth, you can't be here - MOVE!" The woman stood up and moved with her stroller to the other end of the car along with the other woman. They both got off at the next stop.

I see mentally ill/homeless people causing trouble at least once a week. I see dudes jerking off at least once month. These things are not rare. [/quote]

Avoid certain Metro lines that serve neighborhoods with trashy low-lifes and you’ll have a different experience.  Problem is the local political leaders want trash everywhere now. [/quote]
