always said that the Bus Stop right on Willimasbridge Road and Morris Park is what changed that area.

Look at what hangs out at the corner in an otherwise nice area. Thugs.

Yes, but is the crime rate any worse in Scarsdale, which has a Metro North stop, than it is in Throggs Neck, which doesn't even have a subway stop?

Economics, social class, and effective policing should prevent such problems from happening. As a native New Yorker, you should know the argument that crime is concentrated around public transport stops is B.S., otherwise, the entire metro area would be a crime ridden hellhole. ;-)
