Why don't people carpool and use public transportation?

They recently added an additional route starting from Clayton, I think. I don't find the passengers very threatening during the day. But at night, I've seen more fights there than at the clubs. I will ride the ML at night, only if I'm with someone else, never alone.

Yeah, the new stops help a lot as far as convenience, and though I've never really had a problem with the passengers, SLU students got robbed either at the station or on their way to and from the station nearest to campus. It made it really far down on my list of transportation.
