Some of you may know about the June 22nd crash involving two Metro rail Red Line trains. This happened due to issues with the ATC (Automated Train Control) system. That's right, AUTOMATED!!! A subway system shoudl not be fucking automated. Do you see NYC or Boston with automated subways.... no. You see them in airports like Atlanta, Tampa and Vegas. There is you first FAIL.
Second Fail is the whole stopping at the end of the plaform. Really, I mean REALLY. The operators have no idea where to stop the train so they have to take it to the end of the plaform? Retards. Also don't see the safety in putting trains there. More people just being lazy.
Suggestions for metro: install signals throughout the system, not just entry and exit of stations, plus have operators that can DRIVE.
That's all for this weeks Ask Al, be sure to stop back next week for another segment of Ask Al where we tackle the pressing issues. I'm Al Borland.
