Grand River Transit

I took it as a bus or LRT train having a higher likelihood of COVID-19 transmission than a single-person private car. But maybe my interpretation was wrong?

Using the word filthy does not express that, yes, that is probably what they meant, but it is not what they said.  The word choice seems intentional, wrt to transit.

Not sure if that was referring to me, though I believe it was. When I said 'filthy' I meant it in a cleanliness context. I have two children, both older teens now, but one has a clean room, the other's room is filthy.

Definition of filthy: "disgustingly dirty"

And in this situation, I meant it as what Tom though: higher likelihood of cobvid-19 transmission than a single-person (or family) private car. I in NY City they believe the high rate of covid-19 and the high death toll may be partially blamed on the high demand on public transit.

In my kids case, the one disinfects her room 5x a day. The other, that's my job when I have the time. If covid-19 were to exist in this house, I know who to blame.

I do suppose you could use the word 'filthy' in the context of what some non-hybrid busses spew out. But that's not what I meant. Having spent a lot of time in Toronto and using the subway and street cars primarily, they spew nothing out, so generally I don't look at transit as being filthy from an environmental point of view.
