Or the downed power lines that kill the Trolleys. Or when a freaking tree falls over during a storm, blocks the tracks and delays your commute for 2+ hours (been there, done that)
And the people?!?! OH EM GEE
How about the smelly alcoholics? ****ed up drug abusers, annoying loud mouth teens, stank ass homeless people trying to bum change off ya? Even the gang activity. I once had a group of black people try to jack me as i was getting off the trolley. Some bitch reached into my pockets as i was walking down the isle, i told the bitch, "WTF, you doing??" Next thing you know ima bout to get jumped.
I had a friend get robbed for his shoes on the trolley.
Yeah.....
**** public transportation.
I'd much rather drive in my car than to deal with all that shit again.

This crap happens, certainly, especially in bad areas. But not so much during rush hour. Sure, you get stuck sitting next to the occasional garlic reeking foreigner, but normally it's just a regular person on their way home same as you.
I lived in Chicago for nearly 10 years, sometimes in some pretty ****ed up neighborhoods, and I never had a problem on the L. And taking the Metra (suburban commuter train) is much better than Chicago public transportation.
Didn't realize San Diego was so ghetto.
