there is a terrible attitude.
"because someone, somewhere has it worse. you should be happy with whatever you get."
thats how we get a race to the bottom. also, perceptions matter. and the perception is transit is full of vagrants that are unclean, smelly, carrying garbage, and doing drugs.
and we know these things are happening. theres enough proof of it. if you want people to feel comfortable on transit, you need to stop saying "youre just too privileged because of someone, somewhere else having it worse"
compassion fatigue is a thing, and its becoming the common attitude.
