Normal? What the **** does that mean?
I rode the Los Angeles Metro five days a week for nearly two years. It was dirt cheap (like $30 a month and straight shot down Santa Monica Blvd.) and I never saw a single incidence of violence. If you're "afraid" to take public transportation, whether it's the Metro or the Subway, that says more about you than the system. |

What a douche. With any luck, he'll be on the wrong end of a drive by.

Sha'arinica Campbell thinks he is simply acting out because he knows he won't be able to get an education and a good job.

Generally speaking, there's no difference between those that ride the city bus and those that don't. Just a bunch of people trying to get where they're going. |

It doesn't say anything about anybody if they don't feel safe riding on public transportation, because it's not always safe.

What a ****ing douche. I wish a few people armed with glocks would go Dog The Bounty Hunter and find that piece of shit.

I've never been to Boston. Is that a bad part of town or just overall?
It may not always be safe, sure. But I imagine that's due to the neighborhood and not so much to do with public transportation as a whole. |

I ride the bus from time to time and I can tell you it's just a different clientele that's fore sure. You're talking about typically poor or lets just say interesting people on there. |

yes it was in the shitty part of town. I live in a nice burb but I have to go through the shit holes to get to the city with the way the T operates. I hardly ever take it though as I rarely go downtown.

I haven't taken the bus since about 1998 but it was nice and convenient. And for at least 7 years or so, the entire fleet is natural gas, which is awesome as compared to diesel fumes. |

Not sure about other cities, but San Diego's public transportation is full of rejects. Sure, there's plenty of working professionals, students and "Normal" people, but imma guess it's a 3:1 Ratio favoring Crackheads, Alcoholics, bums and wanna be thugs, like that PoS kid in the OP. Almost everyday i rode the trolley, i came home with a story to tell, anywhere from people getting their Ipods stolen to bitches trying to reach into my pockets while walking down the aisle.

Actually, the Metro doesn't head North-South in that section of Beverly Hills, just East-West. You'd have to take either the Santa Monica Blvd or Wilshire line and stop at Beverly or so. All of those streets (Rodeo, Canon, Beverly, etc.) are really short, probably not even half a mile long.

If those were all white kids and the driver was black, they would have found him by now and charged him with a hate crime.
