Here in Austin people shoot at eachother on the highway all of the time, there's no need for them to wreck their car

Let's be real for a minute; the relative incidence rate of highway shootings is far lower than the relative incidence rate of violent crime on public transit in American cities.

My not-sufficiently-informed opinion is in agreement with yours. Do you have any studies that we can use to compare shootings versus violent crime rate on public transit?

A quick Google search revealed some data collected by the US government on the topic.
