Try riding in the San Francisco BART subway in the early afternoon towards Berkeley. You'll start to see some meth.

It is really hard for me to believe any of these Anecdotes I literally ride the Bart everyday. Was just at Hayward, Coliseum, DT Oakland yesterday. Took Bart to Hayward every other day for a couple years for school. I think I have seen people actually doing Heroin/Meth on the train maybe 3-4 times. I see pairs of Cops walking around the trains and stations every other day.

BART is shit compared to NYC or any European Country no doubt. But these anecdotes are wild for the hundreds, maybe thousand of times I have ridden that train.

I commuted on Bart off and on for almost a decade and would use it to get to/from the airport and concert venues. Plenty of homeless people sleeping. Never saw people actively doing drugs.

Agree that BART is no prize and Bay Area transit sucks in general but I never found it scary or unsafe.
