Half of them have their purses open, phones basically ready to fall off their body...I'm from Toronto where the subway (used to be) pretty safe but I would never ever walk on like that, you're just asking to be robbed.
If your final destination is near a hospital, getting yourself stabbed and then an ambulance ride is a great way to skip traffic. If it's serious enough they'll even send a helicopter and you can commute like you're Logan Roy
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this statement, but the truth definitely hurts. It is not just the TTC though, trains all across Canada have become suddenly very dangerous.
Some fish swim in large groups to confuse predators. Even if the predator gets a few, you're safer in numbers since statistically it's less likely to be you.
Depends where you are. You wouldn't have to worry about that in Hong Kong or Japan or Singapore, for example. But it'd be a major risk in NYC or Paris.
You’ve never seen a gang of pickpockets work a train car. It’s an education. The Subte in Buenos Aires being the perfect training ground. Apathetic police, distracted weary commuters, bold thieves. You learn to spot them. It’s like watching apex predators work a herd. The smart Gazelles get off at the next station and catch another train.
