Is taking buses around Visalia safe?

For context, I’m a stay at home mom with a toddler. I can’t drive bcz I’m in the process of making my green card. I’m looking at different bus routes as a regular means of transportation since my toddler is active and she needs to be out of the house everyday. I’m very cautious because I have a toddler and I had bad experience before in Asia (where I’m from). So it safe to take the bus here?
