Violence and gunshots on the T is absolutely a T problem. There’s just nothing they can do about it

Ah yes because whenever there is violence or attempted murder I blame the location where it happened, not the person

Oh i see now we only blame the perpetrator because its convenient. Not the neighborhood not the cops not the location or the people in that location. Just stop its absolutely a problem for the T that people feel unsafe or uncomfortable using using it. I acknowledged theres nothing they can do about it. But pretending it away is also asinine.

If someone decides they want to shoot someone, that is 100% on the person doing the shooting lol. Using your logic if someone is drunk and beats up an Uber driver, it’s an Uber problem; but there’s nothing they can do about it? Or is the drunk person the problem?

If uber drivers are being assaulted its absolutely an uber problem. Less people will want to work for uber if they feel unsafe. If people are being assaulted harassed oh and shot on the T its a T problem ending in less people will want to ride it. See how that works? I mean just look at the litigious society we live in we blame corporations and companies for everything its never the individuals fault. The T has a reputation for violence and harassment that is 100% a problem for them
