The Metro is dangerous. I feel safer driving.

Almost always translate to "I am more scared of the poor than getting in a car crash". Which is honestly fucking wild to me. My biggest concern with public transport is getting sick

It's easier to fear things you don't understand.

Yes, I know, it takes about 20 seconds of conversation to get a rough idea of why someone is in the position they're in. That's 20 seconds these people just will not give. It's similar to homophobia, the more you look at it.
