If you feel uncomfortable with a person or situation in your car, just get out at the next stop and quickly re-enter the next car. You aren't trapped.

I'm a middle aged, big guy and do this often when I see someone who I profile as a potential troublemaker or is giving me weird vibes. Yes, it means I am making unfair assumptions sometimes. But it doesn't really matter. If I feel someone's a little off, I leave.

This only works if the person does not realize you are getting of the train and follow you. A big adult man getting weird vibes from a fellow passenger is not at all the same experience as a young girl experiencing targeted harassment.

My point is you can often tell who's a creep before the interaction with you begins. Nip it in the bud and leave before the engagement starts.

But also... Stay if you want. I truly don't care. Fuck me for offering advice that's worked for me.

as a large middle aged man your advice here will inevitably be seen as condescending and unnecessary -- if you hadn't outed yourself as a large creature with a penis everyone would have agreed with you

While we’ll intentioned, this isn’t necessarily great advice.

if she doesn’t make it back on the train before the doors close, then she’s stuck on an empty platform with a creep.
