I agree it's not TransEd's fault, but there could be something with the result with the way it was reported.
I was not referring to people in the forum, but the general population. Sorry if I came across the wrong way.I agree with @ChazYEG. If some jerk-off sleeps on the tracks then he deserves what he gets. It's not TransEd's fault.
That said, I'm definitely not hostile against the LRT system, but I am more hostile towards TransEd's overall incompetence.
Train speed there is only 30 if train driver should see anything close to track he should stop right away hitting a person and not knowing then not calling police for 2 hours is not an excuse. not sure about transed but as far as I know it is not the standard procedure in ETSPerson sleeps on the tracks and that is TransEd`s fault how? people could very well do the same thing on any other line, so I would hope that, even if there is a lawsuit, they win (as much as I have issues with their terrible job with the line).
No one would be talking about suing CN or CP if it has happened with them... This whole hostility against the LRT is becoming exhausting already.
Drivers throughout North America have become so attached to right turns on red as something normal, that taking it away feels to many like an attack. I can't imagine the backlash to trying to ban all rights-on-red throughout the city, despite that being allowed to turn on red is illegal in most developed countries.When is someone going to talk about the real issue. Right hand turns on red all over the city.I walk a lot and have had all my close calls with cars doing right hand turns on red. This time because it was an LRT it makes the news. Because people are moving slower they avoid the car most of the time. We never talk about all the poeple who are bumped or just knocked down. Now the car paided the price and we are all talking about.
Aren't most safety features--in pretty much anything--included because some people are stupid? Fences around electrical substations are topped with barbed wire because otherwise some idiot would try to climb over. Plastic bags have warnings about not allowing small children to play with them because some people haven't properly supervised their kids and toddlers have suffocated.If they add crossing gates, they need to add the text, "Its here because other people were stupid".
