Is there any tip for riding the patco safely or is it a gamble at this point

I don’t mean for that ^ to sound bait-y, I know I’ve heard the el/septa is worse but still - the bums and stuff are out of control on the patco now. There was a dude at the haddonfield station tonight cursing and throwing trash all over the lobby, a dude stumbling around and staring oddly on my train cart through the seat crack, and lots of agressive dudes always in the 15/16 station. Is 12/13th or 9/10th better ? Is the cart by the front where the conductor is the safest? I have no choice but to use the train to commute home, but am very emotionally exhausted these last couple days - depending on what cart I choose I feel relaxed enough to read and next night a dude sits right next to me and positions himself to stare at me the entire ride as some sort of a power move. At the moment the only solution I can think of is pepper spray over the left shoulder for good luck!
