    I’ve literally never heard someone claim that buses and trains are more dangerous than cars.

      Every single city community group in the US has a vocal population that swears the local bus service is filled with nothing but homeless murderers and thieves and that’s why public transit should never be built and will never be used by anyone normal

      Same, but I have no doubt they’re out there.

      If Camel said with a strait face that cigarettes increase health, I’m certain there have been public advertisements at least insinuating that a car is safter than public transportation.

      Eh… I did and they didn’t mean safety from accidents, they meant safety from crime. Nobody is going to pickpocket (might get carjacked at an intersection) or insult you (well…) in your car but in the subway they might.
