In my experience, in Europe you'd find a lot of transit systems a lot less concerned if you wound up riding into a short relay. They'll make an effort at getting you off, but if you prove a bit recalcitrant then so long as you leave the T/O alone they're not going to delay service because you can't control yourself. I saw at least one drunk on the Berlin U-bahn refuse to wake up at Alexanderplatz on the U5. The T/O gave up, relayed his train, and the police helped the drunk off the train after it'd come around for eastbound service. Of course riding into a yard is another matter entirely, and they made sure the trains going OOS were completely fumigated, but that was one thing their full length, walk-through trains appear to help with immensely.And in the case of the video I posted, the worst he can do is yank the emergency brake or try to smash out a window. There isn't even a T/O walking the length of the train for a drunk to attack. |
