I appreciate your comment, your personal experience, and your rationale, and I’m sorry you feel unsafe on Metro. That’s definitely a problem. I’m not unreasonable and I won’t try to vilify you for choosing an Uber over Metro while on a night out. As long as you’re not drunk driving, whatever you prefer is fine by me!
While I’m generally pro-transit/walking/biking as a means of getting around the city, and have a strong distaste for the way car-dependent thinking and engineering perverts our city, that’s another story. This post was specifically about dangerous drunk and impaired driving.

It’s not even like the two incidents I described above. Even when conflict doesn’t spill on to me I have seen tons of fights, people yelling unhinged at other people, seen tons of drinking and drug sales. Metro used to be so clean and safe- or maybe I was younger and naive, but it is so rough now. If it was more visibly policed, at stations and on cars, I think it would help.
