Strongly agreed. I have unfortunately had many infuriating and dangerous experiences on AC Transit and Bart.

I'd pay extra to not have to be afraid I won't make it home to my kids.

Why aren't you paying extra then - Uber/Lyft or your own car?

Sometimes I do, but its eight times the cost and takes an extra 30 minutes each way. Ideally I would love to take public transportation. I love the idea of it, the economics, the traffic reduction, and the general social benefit. Unfortunately here it comes with some big negatives and they really wear you down after over a decade of it not really changing much.
