Public transportation stress during pandemic

Anyone feel stressed out taking public transportation since the pandemic? I feel like things have been worse within the last 2 years. The trains are a nightmare to deal with because there are more people who are mentally ill on the trains not getting the help they need. I deal with this all the time now especially on my way to school. Yesterday a guy was screaming non stop and threatening to attack people. He made everyone flinch. I felt like I wanted to cry. It’s draining and stressful to deal with plus I hate the feeling of being trapped on the train with nowhere to go, not knowing what will happen.

Today there was an attack on one of the trains where a man had a smoke bomb and started shooting at people. So far luckily no one was killed but about 16 people were injured. Some of the injuries were people stepping over each other as the chaos unfolded because they couldn’t see where they were running. The perpetrator is still on the loose. It’s horrible. People just want to go to work, school, home or visit family and how can they do that when someone can disrupt their commute? 😩
