I would think that a major reason not to ride the subway is a lack of subways in your area.

When I lived in WV, I never even saw a subway.

In Miami, we have an elevated Metro that is still trying to reach the airport. But I have seen no disorderly behavior on the Metro.

I saw a conductor and a cop throw a smelly drunk off the Tri-Rail once, but that is all I have witnessed in 35 years here.

Actually I'm seeing more of this. Lots of tension is going on in the general populous. Doesn't help I'm out there making worst.

How do you make it worse, kimba?

The most annoying things on the Miami Metrobus tend to be born-again Haitians popping on to preach about how Jesus is returning next Tuesday, loudly and in Creole. This happens to a lesser degree in Spanish and English.

This happens seldom during my rides. It is tolerable and still beats walking or driving. The bus is nearly always empty enough where and when I travel to get a seat.

Smelly fellow passengers are worse than loud ones, but they are fewer in number. Mostly, both the Metrobus and the Metro rail are adequate and useful.

When it happens I tend to get the more annoying guy even more angry. He usually get confused and has trouble functioning. I've yet get punch from it.

I generally ignore people who are obnoxious in public. They have never threatened me, and I doubt that I could calm down some crazy drunk.
