Well it’s not all that safe on NYC subways and buses either anymore. I have a friend who lives in downtown Brooklyn and it’s got so bad since the pandemic that he bought a car and refused to ride the trains. I agree it’s pretty bad taking the subway in LA and it started getting bad about two years before the pandemic started but has gotten worse now. I’m not saying things never happened before, because certain routes going through rough areas of the city could be bad, but usually if you mind your own business it was still pretty safe. I used to commute everyday to work back in the late 90’s early 2000’s and never had a problem.
I stopped taking public transportation here in LA for that very reason. I think it’s probably gotten worse in most major cities in the USA. I even noticed the last two times I visited San Diego I took the trolley and there was definitely some sketchy people on the train more so than the previous years I’ve been on their trains.
