The situation is weird. No one thinks like this, or it isn't a problem, in cities that actually have good public transport. A drug addict has never entered my mind when riding public transport in London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, etc.

When a transit system is bad only those in the worst situations use it because they have no other options. Thus all you see are societies worst.

When transit is good everybody uses it and normal people are the vast majority so you rarely see or notice the bad people.

The percentage of bad people is about the same in both cities overall
