<p>Perception is reality. If people perceive public transit in the United States is not safe, they will not ride it irrespective of the statistics.</p> <p>I know people in Dallas and Austin who will not use public transit because they believe it is not safe. Moreover, they don't want to associate with what they perceive to be the lower class people who use it.</p> <p>I have had some bad happenings on public transit, although I have not been the vicitim of a physical crime. I use the DART light rail system, as well as its buses, during the day, but I would not ride it late at night. </p> <p>I am 75, and I am a target. When I go to Dallas for the symphony, I catch a cab back to my hotel. </p>
