Ding ding ding! We have a safe mode of robot transit: trains. See, we know exactly where they will go because they run on rails. Literally.

Trains aren't safe. They just expose you to different dangers, like airborne diseases, pickpocketing, and stabbing.

I promise I'm not trying to make fun of you but this sounds a bit like a suburban person's perception of the city rather than what the city is actually like. None of this is more common on a subway than anywhere else.

How am I supposed to sing "Oops I did it Again" at the top of my lungs on a train? I need a private booth for that.
