Okay, I stand corrected.

And my solution is to simply make people use the state-owned buses that already operate in the same place as these things!
And I have proof crime is up...since then, there has been more crime in my neighborhood, and I've seen vandalism only since they came only on the street that they run on..
Excellent! I'm glad you are gotting involved in local issues. Since this is the jest of your petition, it should be stated more forcefully, perhaps at the beginning of the petition. Also, it helps to use outside stats, like increase in police calls, arrests, convinctions...that type of thing.

And terrorists wouldn't drive into the city, they'd get caught...these things have less security than the state-owned buses, so wouldn't you take one of these if you were a terrorist planning to kill 3,000 people?
No, actually I would drive. I used to have annual training in NJ and we would drive all over so I'm not sure what has changed to make it so one can't get in via auto. If I were a terrorist I would not count on mass transit which can run late.
In any case, as its unlikely you can prove the busses were used in the planning of the 9/11 attacks, it is best to leave that part out.
The petition is a great step in the right direction. A little editing of it may make your cause go better.
