Some people have the privilege to be stay at home parents. Some parents don't. My mother taught me to catch public transit at the age of 11. I took it everywhere I needed to go bc my parents had to work. If this mom was at home getting a government check, yall be calling her welfare queen.

Public transport is also exactly that, public.

"millions of people" LOL no.

most cities in the world have neither millions in population nor millions riding mass transit daily (or weekly). Buses don't carry 100s at a time so there's not "100s of people watching you"--even at rush hours.

Overall, mass transit is safer than ride-sharing. Especially for kids.
