It's dumb.
Again, there's zero evidence for this claim. None. There is no concrete evidence that "crime is also a factor impacting people's decision". In fact the premise is untrue, as crime has generally been dropping on most systems.

Are you trolling this thread? We have posted articles, statistics, and personal accounts of how crime has impacted our decisions with respect to public transit. You continue to make claims not grounded in reality at all.
- Crime is higher than it was pre-pandemic (I sourced this)
- It's impacting people's decision to take transit (see posts from MULTIPLE people on this thread)
- We don't know the exact quantifiable impact it's having compared to WFH, but it's a factor.
If you want to continue to deny this basic reality, then I can only assume you are so driven by ideological thinking you can't acknowledge when you are wrong about something, or you are trolling me.
