[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It IS unsafe.[/quote]

Objectively, going by bus is much, much safer than going by car. However, people's perception of risk is subjective, not objective.[/quote]

I’m afraid you’re wrong. No one has been murdered in my car recently.[/quote]

Plenty of people have been vehicular homicided in cars recently though and you’re just as dead that way.

(But also: public transit has to be more convenient than driving for most of the places most people go and in the DMV it just isn’t.  And I say this as someone who doesn’t own a car.)[/quote]

Clearly I’m not just as dead. Your hypotheticals are somewhat interesting but it’s still a fact that no one has been murdered in my car recently. [/quote]

However, other people have been murdered in their cars. In fact, more people have been murdered in their cars than have been murdered on the bus, recently, in Montgomery County. And many, many, many more people have been killed in their cars than have been killed on the bus. Including people who were unimpaired, undistracted, and wearing their seatbelts.[/quote]

You need to look up the definition of murder and then see how dumb this statement is. [/quote]
