It's not really a choice for people. I get up at 3am and wait an hour for the bus just to be on time at 6am.

Can't do much and any job requires a license even if isn't driving related - which instantly nullifies me if I use other acceptable forms of identification.

Public transport is definitely safer, just more eventful. It's nice when you enter a train that smells like fecal matter with a lady just eating a whole rotisserie chicken on the other side. It just follows the same guidelines as other public spaces, don't be a nuisance and make yourself small. It becomes entertaining to have these stories.

Some lady didn't know to just shut up and complained nonstop about the shit on the floor. But then she made a comment about the lady and her chicken, it was small and innocuous. She then kept talking to the conductor.

However, that is how you get slammed after you got stunned by some airborne rotisserie chicken.

So it's usually okay, just has rules like any house.

don’t be a nuisance and make yourself small

That's the most un-American thing I've ever heard.
