I ride Muni, BART and Caltrain all the time (I'm car-free in SF), and I have no idea what you're talking about. Here are the actual statistics of crime per vehicle mile on Muni: https://www.sf.gov/data--crimes-muni

Crime in SF and other big cities have been going way down. If anything, you're probably safer than ever in SF (and other common political targets like NY and Chicago).

Also, how can you know that Muni is more dangerous, if you're too scared to even get on in the first place? Can you really say your fear is based on facts and experience?

He's probably talking about the walgreens on 4th and townsend and that area (also near where i live) has been getting worse in the past year. It was 1 of 2 neighborhoods that had an uptick in crime to the tune of 50%+. https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/sf-neighborhoods-d...

Ditto. I ride Muni (bus and rail) in the Mission close to every day, and although I sometimes encounter people behaving erratically or anti-socially, I don’t recall the last time I felt “unsafe.” (Not that it’s always a pleasant experience, but it’s fine, and cheap.)

May I ask if you can compare your experience now comparing to 2006? Is it better? Safer?
