The Roissy Bus line is very fast, cheap, and convenient. It runs on the A1 motorway which should be safe from hooligans because of the heavy traffic.
but then again, on the motorway you may be involved on a car accident, whereas trains have a near-perfect safety record. I don't say that the coach is unsafe, neither unwise, but do you see my point?
