[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.  [b]I’ve never seen a real crime.  [/b]Never seen anyone masturbating.  [b]Stinkiness is rare[/b](more common in the summer afternoon/evening—I do wish male workers would wear more reasonable clothes for DC summers).  [b]Loud music only once or twice[/b] 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]

You seriously think it's impossible to ride Metro daily without witnessing a crime? I don't know how valuable anecdotal evidence is here, but for what it's worth, I also have never seen a real crime on Metro, in more than 20 years of more or less daily commuting. [/quote]
