So now if you accidentally bump into someone in the crowded subway system, you could be killed like this poor fellow almost did. This could be any of us.

We need a few good men like Bernie Goetz to step forward ASAP.

Won't see me using the subway anytime soon. No thanks.

I haven't used any form of public transportation in 2 years and I have no plans of using the subway in the foreseeable future. I will continue to prioritize my safety.

I have been getting around by car for the most part. If I have to go to Manhattan, I can take the express bus or the railroad. Far more civilized than the subway. I know many people think it's very important to live by a subway, but I for one am glad that I don't, especially with what is going on now. They can keep it.

Same here. I stopped taking Manhattan cases unless it is somewhere I know parking is decent. I drive to the other boroughs.

What was that about getting people back onto the subways? I feel bad for those who don't have a Work From Home option with their employer.

And those who must use the subway. If I lived in Manhattan, I'd either drive, or take Uber.

Back in high school (in Brooklyn) I had just been attacked by a group of thugs while getting on the bus (they tried to steal my iPod and pummeled me when they couldn't get it). A little disheveled, I made my way onto the bus and accidentally stepped on an older guy's foot who was sitting up front. The fool pulled a knife on me. Luckily things ended there, but I still shudder at what could have happened.
