You're not on them every day, so stop talking.Coincidentally, neither are you. FWIW, I've had family members who have lived in Vancouver and London on a medium term basis and neither have had any complaints about either operation. And you forget that the culture outside the USA remains more tolerant of extra maintenance no matter the cost to the public or to society (the financial crisis started in Europe). And yet, you're the first one to complain about New Jersey Transit trashing what you deem to be perfectly viable rolling stock to purchase newer equipment. Either you get properly maintained equipment and rolling stock that doesn't ride like shit and has some degree of longevity performance, or you go with the American approach where you let everything go to pot and then rely on inconsistent funding to keep the entire thing operating. It's not worth it. A robot cannot ascertain an emergency. On the other hand, an employee at central control aided with cameras and sensors can determine and an emergency and implement a mitigation plan with the under proper supervision and with first responders. |
