I posted two legit sources quantifying the rise in violent crimes on public transit here in Chicago and in LA. You continue to act like it's not impacting people's decision making when choosing public transit versus car/Uber or that it's not an issue at all currently.
If you want to debate the quantifiable impact crime versus WFH is having on a city-by-city basis, that is a worth debate to be had. I can't speak for other cities, but I suspect (as I said), the impacts are going to vary from one city to the next. San Francisco to me, seems like a city heavily hit by the wave of WFH given how much tech is there.
Here in Chicago, ridership on the Blue Line definitely seems up compared to last year, but I don't know how it compares to pre-pandemic levels.
