Sure, but when family is in the car, I drive in the slow lane, to help protect them. When family is on the metro, wtf am I supposed to do, beyond maybe a pocket knife on my belt? I took my family on the metro exactly once, and never again, after a younger one almost stepped on a syringe, and a homeless guy was rambling about hiding in a dumpster.

If you're a guy taking a ride, sure. Otherwise, get real.

Surely you can do something to give yourself an illusion of control on the metro just like you do on the freeway.

I can assure you, I don't place used needles, or feces, in my car, which are the statistically significant threats that I've faced.
