Three are so many things wrong with this article I don’t even know where to start. In terms of danger from physical bodily injury, I have no reason to doubt this report while traveling on public transport. Though it is also highly dependent on the city and routes you take. It also doesn’t necessarily take into account total commute, which also includes travel on foot to and from transportation hubs. But a majority of crimes and incidents that happen on public transportation are often nuisance and property crimes, and other non-violent offenses. There are also quite a bit of unreported incidents that occur.
What that translates to is that many people still encounter a higher level of incidents on public transportation that make them feel unsafe. In terms of actual physical safety though, if you summarize mass data like they’ve done here then public transportation is still much safer overall. However, that shouldn’t be used like done here to discredit people’s experiences and concerns with public transportation. The goal should be to still work on aggressively on improving people’s actual experience.
The data doesn’t really matter in changing perspectives if people still significantly experience significantly more anxiety and fear by witnessing or experiencing intimidation, verbal hostilities and altercations, property crime and theft, public indecency, drug abuse, and other things that are legitimate reasons for increased anxiety and paranoia.
