total strangers who can and will hurt you when you can ride the filthy, bedbug-ridden, urine-soaked train next to the crazy homeless guy jacking off right in front of you?

What post-apocalyptic hellscape do you live in? And here I was, thinking I live in a third-world country.

Most major cities with extensive public transport have these problems. You're the one living in denial. And denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I live in a major city and frequently travel by bus and metro. I go to my hometown once a month or so, by train. Haven't experienced these horrors (yet).
