Re: $787K Study Seeks to Find Ways to Encourage Subway Riders to Ride LIRR and MNRR

:eliminate conductors (like railroads did across Europe in the 1990's) "

That will never happen, not in our lifetimes anyway.As for MN/LIRR conductors, aside from protecting revenue, who works the doors? Who makes sure that a 10 car train dosen't open up all doors on a 4 car platform? Who makes sure no one is getting dragged? Who helps in evacuations ? Etc, etc.

All it would take is for a few lawsuits from passengers getting hurt or someone dying from a heart attack that might have been saved...by notifying a conductor to have an ambulance waiting for the train at the next stop to negate any $$$ savings. Then there's the unions.

In a sue happy society that we live in, we know that will happen.
