Total homicides (i.e. ANYWHERE in the US, not specifically on a subway which is probably a tiny fraction below 1%) are roughly double the total deaths in motorised traffic accident. So I&#x27;d say it&#x27;s a safe bet to take the subway over a car.<p>There are other threats of course, pickpocketing etc... but threats to my life specifically on a subway would be a total non-concern for me.
