Are there any statistics on children being harmed at transit stops or on transit vehicles?
Besides, we are talking about taking transit during the daytime not late at night.

I've been riding the ctrains for 25 years, and I have seen a huge increase in wierdos on these trains - day and night - but yes more at night for sure. People are very very reluctant to get involved until there is almost violence - prior to that moment - the stares gestures or even talking goes unchecked and most just shuffle in their seats uncomfortably and would just bury their eyes and ears into their iPhone.
