It's called:1)Improved safety: The trains of yesteryear injured passengers a lot more frequently than they do today. 2) Liability: More lawsuits today than there were 50 years ago. "I don't care if the train is ratty and shakes like crazy as long as it get's me where I want to go!" You also don't care much if people get hurt riding the trains. I'm not sure you have any clue of what it's like to suffer a disabling injury that has repercussions for your life, career and family for the years ahead. That's why railbuffs don't hold much sway at the TA - nor should they. The TA perceives that they care about trains but can't relate to people. A lot of times the TA is right. As far as current CBTC goes, it's still in its "shake-out" test period, and you'll see performance get better as the implementation continues. |
