>>1879195always felt safe and at home in the uk, south korea, china, singapore, and europe - things are clean and not full of homeless people (to an extent, paris/istanbul is a bit different, but not too bad)
Been to the USA a few times, felt safe on the houston and minneapolis train (mostly because they were empty), BART was ok too, but the trains in philly/NYC/chicago were proper sketchy. (homeless people sleeping on the trains, sick on the floor of the train, smelled like a sewer)
Got the buses in houston as well, had some hobos approach me and we had a chat for the ride, was nice, but a bit on edge the whole time.
Got 3rd class trains across india, was proper disgusting (actual farm animals in the train with you) but always felt really safe - great food sold through the windows when the train stops, but as usual, the aftermath probably wasnt worth it
Got trains across uzbekistan as well, very clean and safe, at least one conductor always in sight as well, so all good there. A lot safer than getting taxis, the guy thought I was insulting his driving skill because I put my seatbelt on
