There’s a common perception in the U.S. that taking public transit is dangerous. It's actually safer than driving.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Look at the dangerous people who take trains. This is why we need a 1.5 ton ~~safety blanket~~ truck to keep us safe.
1.5 ton truck? What kind of pinko commie BS is a 1.5 ton truck. Son in 'merica the trucks start at 2.5 tons, unless you're driving one of those rinky-dink soda can things made by "Toyohta" or "kneesan" or whatever. 1.5 ton truck, what a joke...
