In reply to the discussion: Well, is everyone afraid of the subway threat, yet? [View all]DemocratSinceBirth

I will say I ride the Los Angles Metro (subway) every day. In fact I am leaving my home in Woodland Hills (suburban Los Angeles) to meet my girlfriend in downtown Los Angles in a half hour or so. The trip takes approximately one and one half hours. Approximately one hour is spent on a dedicated bus line and the the other half hour is spent on the subway.
There are a few exceptions but most of those poo pooing the threat don't rely on the subway to meet their transportation needs.
BTW, I used to ride the NY subway all the time as a kid. It was scary in the 70s.

With vast respect for all the people who ride the subway daily, I think it's hype.
