We were talking last night about the transit system. Comparing notes about different reasons the trains get delayed or rerouted.
Like with most big cities we have a problem with suicides. Not enough help for those who desperately need it and many of them take to transit to do the unthinkable hoping for a quick end. I’ve been on a train that stuck one such sad soul.
Unfortunately, his end was not quick nor painless.
Of our group, I was not the only one. A few weeks ago there was another accident. A wheelchair got stuck on go and landed on the tracks in front of the train. Luckily that train was able to stop in time.
But this made us wonder… why do the trains all have these big beautiful windows in the front – where people jostle for space to sit their children?
