[Defeat]

It's very unfortunate what happened. And this is a great example of why I'll only ever enter a subway unless I'm down on my luck. Especially one in New York.

Subways in the US are almost always poorly maintained shit boxes that are begging to be terrorized.

They are actually a lot safer than driving.





One thing I noticed is that after certain incomes, people don't continue to use public transport very often in America. If more of the middle class and wealthy used it, there would likely be even more investment into making them safer.

The event is definitely tragic, but also something very rare.

As far as I know, everyone uses the subway in NYC, no?
I've got family over there that aren't doing too shabby and they almost always say it's more convenient depending on where they're going to hop on a train even though they have cars. I have a feeling a lot of the middle class uses the train system (with the growing middle class, I'd even bet a good percentage uses the public transit system in general too).

Why'd they delete the tweet? wrong guy?

No idea. It was there at the time of posting.

Yeah I saw it but when I tried reading the comments it was gone. I'm surprised the shooter's made it this far, it's nyc for crying out loud.
